The Worker

The worker in the Lord's harvest field Is found with a perfect heart; God-fearing as he always is, From His word he won't depart. Till the Lord second advent, The worker remains faithful; As he can't do anything on his own, He always prays to reach his goal. Having the same mind as the Son, Who is humble and obedient; He sets aside his personal welfare, In trials, he stays calm and patient. Devoted, yes, he labors even To the point of exhaustion; Like an athlete, he is disciplined, Entangled not in earthly occupation. He is a role model for good behavior, Reverence and integrity; Brave, he speaks the mysterious words Of the gospel confidently. Responsible, he looks for the lost, Even for just a single one; Sharing the same spirit with the leader, The worker leaves nothing undone.
