Love in Service

By Mrs. Walter Clair Thompson

By Mrs. Walter Clair Thompson
"I love you, mama," said a child; Then off she went to play, Forgetting love means service For mother, through the day.
"I love Thee, Lord, with all my heart," Is older children's prayer, Then straightway their own way pursue; But love means service rare.
Why is it that we see not, love Means deeds, not words alone, And service, daily service, leads Us upward to His throne?
The love shown by our Master great In tender words of cheer, Brought healing to the sufferers, When Jesus Christ was here.
And while we talk of loving Him, Let us remember still The love He counts is doing well The Father's spoken will.
