A Short Work

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
"The King's business requires haste."
Not a moment to sleep Nor o'er trials to weep For the shadows are lengthening fast; No time to look back, Nor thy reaping to slack, Till the sheaves are all garnered at last.
There's no chance for defeat With an armor complete And an earnest of victory given: Swift your banner uprear, With the angel guard near To defy all the foes of high heaven.
Never call a retreat, But with courage defeat All whom Satan can summon to fight; For the Lord is thy shield, By his grace thou shalt wield The sword of his word in his might.
