In The Master's Service

THINGS YOU CAN DO

If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain, steep and high,

You can stand within the valley While the multitudes go by.
You can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song.

If you have not gold and silver Ever ready to command,
If you cannot toward the needy Reach an ever-open hand;
You can visit the afflicted, O'er the erring you can weep.
You can be a true disciple Sitting at our Saviour's feet.

Do not, then, stand idly waiting, For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess - She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do and dare,
If you want a field of labor, You can find it anywhere.
