The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1419

1419. Faith and Works

1. Go thy way day by day
The way Heav’n points to thee;
Question never, trusting ever—
Peace then shalt thou see.

Refrain
Live aright, day and night,
Loving God forever;
Bearing crosses, heavy losses,
Murmuring—Oh, never.

2. Do thy task—never ask
Why must it be done?
Never borrow from the morrow—
Use the present sun. [Refrain]

3. Then shalt thou, even now,
Live in God and light;
And when dying dread not lying
In the cold and night. [Refrain]

4. For thou know’st as thou sowest,
So shalt thou e’er reap;
Duty done, is vict’ry won and
Sweet the victor’s sleep. [Refrain]
