WORK ON.

Work thou thy work while it is day, With patient heart, the right to aid, And leave the wrong to Him who said, "Vengeance is mine: I will repay."
Work, though the time seem sad and slow, Good moveth onward silently; We know that better things shall be, But how or when we cannot know.
What if the task pass human strength? What if the way be dark and drear? Each labors in his proper sphere, And all complete the work at length.
What if thou canst not see the end? Press on in firm and fearless mood, And doubt not that all acted good To some result of good must tend.
