The Crown of Life

By H. C. Nutting

Nor all may share the battle’s shock, And blood-stained colors onward bear; Not all may deadly peril mock, Not all the victor’s chaplet wear.
What man shall say that aught of these No part hath wrought in victory won? Could warrior’s hand the laurel seize, Were sober, homely tasks undone?
No service for the King that’s wrought Escapes his ever-watchful care: Not all may see the battle fought, But all a crown of life may wear.
— H. C. Nutting, in the Christian Advocate.
