Of that he loves so well to do?

Sweet is the recompense it brings—

The work that with good-will is done;

For all the heart with gladness sings,

And all the fleeting hours have wings,

And all the day is full of sun.

And if he labour not in vain,

If souls are by his message stirred,

If he can comfort grief and pain,

Or bring repentant tears like rain
