Frederick William Faber on Work
← Back to Frederick William Faber Profile
“Labour itself is but a sorrowful song, The protest of the weak against the strong.”
“Labor is sweet, for Thou hast toiled, And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Let not our works with self be soiled, Nor in unsimple ways ensnared. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus! be our light.”
