GOD’S WORK GOES ON.

By Josephine Pollard

God’s work goes on in spite of war and famine, The dreaded pestilence of baneful blight. In spite of all the selfish greed of mammon That toils amid the shadows of the night; In spite of evil hearts and hands essaying To crush the temple that we build upon, The law and order so divine obeying, Unmoved by man’s device—God’s work goes on. No human power can interrupt its mission; As well attempt the planets to remove, Or change a single star from the position It holds amid the galaxy above. And so, when all our plans prove unavailing, When busy hands and throbbing hearts are stilled, Doubt not, but rest assured and still; unfailing, God’s work goes on—His plans are all fulfilled. —Josephine Pollard.
