INASMUCH
- “Come!
Give account of all the gifts
Entrusted to thy care:
The wealth I lent thee, did'st thou give
To others? Did'st thou share
- This
favour with less favoured ones,
Thus sharing it with me?”
-
- “Lord,
give me grace to use this gift
To succour those in need;
- As thou
hast succoured me, O Lord,
Grant I in turn may feed
Thy hungry ones; and doing so,
Do it as unto thee.”
“The health I gave thee; did'st thou use
This gift—not given to all—
To minister to those in pain?
To spread the Gospel call ?”
“O grant I may thy vigour use,
In glorifying thee.”
If we could thus fulfil thy will,
E'en so, Lord, we should be
Unprofitable servants still,
Such is our need of thee.”
(Hilda Murton)
