THE MASTER'S TOUCH.

By Bonar

In the still air the music lies unheard; In the rough marble beauty hides unseen; To make the music and the beauty, needs The master's touch, the sculptor's chisel keen.
Great Master, touch us with thy skillful hand; Let not the music that is in us die! Great Sculptor, hew and polish us; nor let, Hidden and lost, thy form within us lie!
Spare not the stroke! do with us as thou wilt! Let there be nought unfinished, broken, marred; Complete thy purpose, that we may become Thy perfect image, thou our God and Lord! —Bonar.
