Abiding With God

By O. P. WILSON

O. P. WILSON
O, how may I do more for Him? The time glides on apace; Should I put forth with greater zeal More efforts in life's race? Ah, that is not my highest aim; I'll offer up my all, And place it on the altar here, And bide the time, as Paul.
In whatsoever state I am, I'll there contented be, In city, town, or countryside, Until my Lord I see; Abiding ever with my King, In duties great and small, For one may plow, and one may preach; And there is work for all.
So let each man “wherein he’s called Therein abide with God,” Put on the helmet and the shield, Be with the gospel shod; “And having food and raiment, let Him therewith be content,” For from above there cometh down To man life’s element.
