Ministry

Your needs are many, and your heart cries out For sweet relief from all your burning care; You look to heaven, and ask your God to spare Your soul from further pain and anxious doubt.
And at your side you do not see the cure You might so quickly find had you the will; Seek but your neighbor’s life with love to fill, And you’ll forget the miseries you endure.
E’en as the Master at the well forgot His own sore thirst in off’ring living drink, So into naught your numerous needs shall shrink In giving good to those who have it not.
The mystery of ministry is this: Who gives most blessing gains the greatest bliss.
