NOT THROWN AWAY.

O TOILER in this world of sin, And hast thou toiled in vain to win Some soul to thy dear Saviour's love? "In vain," thou hast no right to say; No work for Christ is thrown away.
Has every effort made to cheer Some trembling heart that quaked with fear, Seemed labor lost, of no avail? "Lost labor," thou shouldst never say; No work for Christ is thrown away.
Hast thou with thine own passions fought, While they on thine own soul have wrought An evil work that brings thee grief? Fight that same battle every day; No work for Christ is thrown away.
The stubborn soil must feel the plow; The harvest cometh, but not now. The seed thou sowest shall not die; Believe not those who falsely say That work for Christ is thrown away. —Selected.
