doe YE NEXTE THYNGE."
From an old English parsonage,
Down by the sea,
There came in the twilight,
A message to me.
Its quaint Saxon legend,
Deeply engrayen,
Hath, as it seems TO me,
Teaching for heaven;
And on through the hours,
The quiet words ring
Like low Inspiration,
"Doe We nexte thynge."
Many a questioning,
Many fear.
Many doubt
Hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment.
Let down from heaven,
Time. opportunity,
Guidance, are given.
Fear not tomorrow,
Chiiu OF the Ming,
Trust them with Jesus,
"Doe ye nexte tnynge."
Do 1t Immediately,
DO 1t with prayer,
Do 1t reiiantly,
Casting all care;
Do 1t with reverence,
Tracing His hand.
Who hath placed 1t before thee,
With earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotenee,
Safe meath His wing,
Leave all resultings,
doe ye nexte thynge."
