  1. God's Workers

    Share Share Post
    (The Reward ". . . and I will give you what shall be just" (Matt - XX - 4)
    Who does God's work will get God's pay
    However long may seem the day
    However weary be the way
    (2)
    Though Powers and Princes thunder "Nay"
    No human hand God's Hand can stay
    Who does His work will get His pay
    (3)
    God hurries not nor makes delay
    Who works for Him will get His pay
    Some certain hour some certain day
    (4)
    He does not pay as others pay
    In gold or land or raiment gay
    In goods that perish and decay
    (5)
    But God's high wisdom knows a way
    And this is sure let come what may
    Who does God's work will get God's pay
