Dear friends, be God's entirely, absolutely!
Leave not one cent, one talent, lying dormant.
Souls suffer here; despairingly and mutely,
No hope, no comfort, perishing in torment.
Give all you have and all you are to Jesus,
Forget not that on you He is depending;
He who alone can heal these soul's diseases
Will work through you in praying, going, sending.
Your children—let them be for Jesus only!
To prayer and to the Word of God devoted!
Peculiarly His own, apart and lonely
As those must who for nought else are noted.
The masterpiece of art that is divinest—
A human soul in which the Christ expresses
Himself most freely—truly is the finest
Of all created beings whom God blesses.
This is the goal toward which ourselves aspiring
We long unspeakably to reach: and never
Was soul yet born too eagerly inquiring
And giving all for Truth and God, forever!
