Wanted, Men

By Milton C. Wilcox

MILTON C. WILCOX
In the conflict of the ages God is calling now for men,— Asks he not for brawn and muscle, Asks he not for noise and bustle,— As he called in days of Jesus, he is calling now again: Asks for men to bear his message, Asks for men to be a presage, In the conflict of the ages by their voice and by their pen.
In the conflict of the ages God is calling men to him, Calling them from sin’s low level, Calls from service of the devil, Calls to glorious light and leading from the world’s dark shadows dim: Calls to holy, active living, Calls to earnest, noble giving, Calls from all the earth-born visions to the views the angels limn.
In the conflict of the ages God is calling, soul, to you,— Asks for higher, holier vision, Asks for clear and strong decision,— He is waiting by his Spirit with rich gifts thee to endue; Not for earth’s too low ambition, But to life of sweet submission, To his high and holy service, lowly, noble, ever true.
