The Blessing of Service

By Mrs. M. K. Emerson

MRS. M. K. EMERSON
SWEET the mission of Jesus, To bind up the broken hearts; Creation rings with the joy it brings, And the gloom of earth departs.
Peace to the troubled spirit, Comfort and cheer to the soul; This stormy old earth with its borrowed mirth Can no lasting joy control.
Jesus, the light of the world, Can brighten our path below, Help us to bear earth’s sorrow and care, Looking to him as we go.
He, the sweet balm in Gilead, The solace for human woe; The world can not share a treasure so fair, Our Friend and Saviour to know.
Look in the world about you For some good that you might do, ’Twill add full measure to all your pleasure, And make you more happy, too.
