As He Toils

A-s he toils with utmost ardor, 
N-ever does he lose his vigor; 
G-iving his extreme energy, 
E-difying the weak daily, 
L-etting the parents and children 
O-pen their hearts to new heaven. 

M-an of faith, trust, hope, and love too 
A-ims to glorify God so true, 
N-o single stone is left unturned 
A-s he has just zealously learned, 
L-ies of the enemy he foils, 
O-nce he speaks the truth as he toils.
