My Task

 

 To love some one more dearly every day,
To help a wandering child to find its way,
To linger over a noble thought, and pray,
And smile when evening falls.
This is my task.

 

To follow truth as blind men long for light,
To do my best from dawn of day ‘till night,
To keep my heart fit for His holy sight,
And answer when He calls.
This is my task.
