DUTY DOING.

By Anon.

WITH love and pity all aflame, The story of the cross I heard, And straight a pilgrim I became, Through all the world to seek my Lord; To bind for Him with loving hands His wounded feet and bleeding hands.

Then in a quiet hour I heard, Plain as a whisper in the ear, “I am thy ever-present Lord, Why seek for Me?—Lo, I am here. Who doeth what My Word commands, Hath kissed My feet and touched My hands.

“Who giveth to the starving—bread, Who stays the steps of wayward youth, Who raises up the sorrowing head, And best of all—who spreads the truth. He binds for Me with loving bands, My wounded feet and bleeding hands.”

—Anon.
