RIGHT MUST WIN

By Frederick William Faber

O, it is hard to work for God, To rise and take His part Upon this battlefield of earth, And not sometimes lose heart!

He hides Himself so wondrously, As tho there were no God; He is least seen when all the powers Of ill are most abroad.

Workmen of God! O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike!

Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field when He Is most invisible.

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.

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.

God's glory is a wondrous thing, Most strange in all its ways; And, of all things on earth, least like What men agree to praise.

For right is right, since God is God; And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.

—F. W. Faber.
