Work Where You Are

By N. P. Neilsen

PERHAPS you can not go away To some far-distant clime, To preach the glorious truth of God, The message for this time; But then your own dear little home Can be your mission field. Just work for God where'er you are, Let love her scepter wield.

Perhaps you can not preach like Paul, In language clear and plain; But you can live the truth of God, And work in Jesus’ name.

Perhaps you can not do great things, Nor mighty deeds each day; But you can speak of Jesus’ love, Or give a tract away.

—N. P. Neilsen, in Wisconsin Reporter.
