Workman of God, O lose not heart

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 98 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Workman of God, O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And on the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike. 2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when he Is most invisible. 3 Blest too is he who can divine Where truth and justice lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man's blinded eye. 4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee his road. 5 For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.

Utter helplessness

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 153 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. 3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, Breathes on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake and rise From the long sleep of death; On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.
