COMPENSATION

By Pearl Waggoner Howard

PEARL WAGGONER HOWARD
Going at the Master’s bidding Far beyond the trackless foam, Leaving native land behind us, Bidding long farewell to home, There’s a sweet and glad assurance Fills our hearts with joy and praise; ’Tis his word: “Lo, I am with you, Will be with you all the days.”
Not alone he bids his servants Follow out his great command; Not alone he bids them labor, In their own small strength to stand. But there’s blessed compensation For the strong commission, “Go.” ’Tis the word: “I’m with you always, Through all changing scenes below.”
It is blessed to be treading In the path the Master trod; It is glorious to be chosen As ambassadors for God. But wherever he may send us, It is best of all to know That the promise, “I am with you,” Follows the command to go.
