Fearless, calm, and strong in love,
Would'st thou ply the Gospel net ?
Then remember God above,
And thyself forget.
Like the fisher, patient be ;
Try at morn, and try at even,
Hope, where thou canst nothing see ;
And still trust in Heaven.
Never shall the net be cast
All in vain, though cast amiss :
Wait the great Day and the last,
Ere thou judge of this.
O what issues that may show
Even of thy poor toil and care !
But, till then, enough to know
Thou dost neither spare.
Spend, then, and be spent, in love ;
Take the task before thee set;
Souls to win for Heaven above,
And thyself forget.
