The Useful Life.

Go LABOR on, spend and be spent, Thy joy to do the Master's will; It is the way the Master went, Should not the servant tread it still?
Go labor on; 'tis not for naught; Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises—what are men!
Go labor on; enough while here, If he shall praise thee, if he deign Thy willing heart to mark and cheer; No toil for him shall be in vain.
Go labor on; your hands are weak, Your knees are faint, your soul cast down; Yet falter not; the prize you seek, Is near—a kingdom and a crown.
