A New Year's Request

I asked the New Year for a motto sweet, Some rule of life with which to guide my feet. I asked and paused; he answered, soft and low, "God's will to KNOW."

"Will knowledge, then, suffice, New Year?" I cried; And ere the question into silence died, The answer came, "Nay; but remember, too, God's will to DO."

Once more I asked, "Is there no more to tell?" And once again the answer softly fell, "Yes; this one thing, all other things above, God's will to LOVE."
