Loving — Living — Working

“That the world may believe.”
ON the heights of self-denial, Love with sorrow blends, As One prays, in hour of trial, For his friends:— “Keep these one in us, O Father! That all men may know They are my disciples, truly— Loving so!”
As he hears their faith’s confession— “Do ye now believe?” Lo! my loving, parting blessing— Peace—receive! “In the world is tribulation; But ye need not fear; I have overcome it for you, Be of cheer!”
Not alone for those disciples, Jesus’ prayer was heard; But for us who have believed Through their word! “Keep them one, O Holy Father! That the world may know Thou hast sent me—when they see these Living so!”
Blessed Jesus! o’er earth’s turmoil We thy voice have heard. May we e’er in loving union Keep thy word! While we love and help each other, Men beholding, see That we are thy true disciples— Loving thee!
Church of Jesus Christ! Awaken! Founded on the Rock, View the judgment scenes, unshaken— Fear no shock! Mission workers! speed the tidings Swift to dying men— Jesus leaves his Father’s glory— Comes again!
Like a radiant, bannered army— Church! be strong and fair! One in heart, God grant ye meet him, In the air! “One in heart!” we will remember! “That the world may know” God sent Jesus! when they see us. Working so!
— Susie Bradford Thompson, in the World’s Crisis.
