And yet. though small my gifts, Il
have not Swathed
Them in cold binding-folds of dis
content,
tried to work 70, their increase. |
And in
That day when our sad limitations
here
Shall all be justified, if / can say,
Dear Plying LORD, I've done my
best with this
Weak frame and what Thous didst
entrust unto
Its fostering care, knowest thous not

That in the body new which meets
my SOU
Upon the resurrection morn there
will
Be skill and strength for hand and
foot and heart?
And voice there will be, fit to sing
His praise!
