  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Who does God's work will get God's pay
    However long may seem the day,
    However weary be the way.
    Though powers may thunder "Nay"!
    No human hand God's hand may stay,
    Who does God's work will get His pay
    God hurries not nor makes delay,
    Who works for Him will get His pay,
    Some certain hour, some certain day.
    He does not pay as others pay
    In gold or land or raiment gay,
    In goods that perish and decay.
    But God's high wisdom knows the way
    And this is sure, let come what may,
    Who does God's work will get God's pay.
