Be Not Weary

 

“Let us not be weary in well doing;
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”
[Galatians 6:9]

 

Be not weary in well-doing –
every task divinely set
Has its counter part of promise –
God will not His Word forget!

 

Though thou may’st be sorely tried,
Every need shall be supplied.

 

Be not weary in well-doing –
While the world is doing ill;
While the hosts of sin and Satan
Toil with fiendish strength and skill.

 

Forward hasten to the fight,
God will furnish thee with might.

 

Be not weary in well-doing –
Though thy labours seem in vain;
Heed not aught that would dishearten,
Sow in faith the golden grain.

 

God will His sure promise keep –
In due Season thou shalt reap!

 

Be not weary in well-doing –
Pilgrim on thy Homeward way;
‘Mid the throng that journey with thee,
Scatter kindness day by day.

 

Cease not till thy task is done,
And thy Lord’s “Well done” is won.
