MY WORK.

By Mrs. D. E. Walker

MRS. D. E. WALKER.

(Battle Creek, Mich.)

I’ll up and away, to the field I’ll go, In patience and faith the seed I’ll sow: In hope will I wait till the dew and rain Shall ripen it into golden grain.

No longer I’ll idly sit and say, There’s naught that I can do to-day; But I’ll up and away! like a servant true, Saying, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?

There’s enough to do, the fields are white: The lost ones wander in darkest night; Their eyes are blinded with error and sin. Who will help to bring the wanderers in?

My heart says, Lord, here am I, send me. Let me help to set the captives free. Let me work for thee, in the field to-day, And bless my labor, dear Lord, I pray.

My crown I’ll leave in Jesus’ care, If the gathering work I may but share: And when the labor has all been done, May I share in the joyful harvest home.

Then I’ll up and away, to the fields I’ll go; With a faithful hand the seed I’ll sow: The Lord will bless with dew, and rain, And sun, to ripen the golden grain.
