1. The heights by great men reached and kept     Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept,     Were rising up before the light. 2. We rise by things beneath our feet;     By mastery of good and gain; By vanquished ills we hourly meet,     By pride deposed and passion slain. 3. All […]

1. How effective is our work? Does it pass the test?     Does it lead souls unto Christ, where they may find rest? We may build the greatest house, reach the highest goal,     We may win all arguments, but still lose a soul. 2. Leadership will bring success, true prosperity;     Giving up my selfish nest: false […]

It’s the littles, it’s the littles     That will always help me grow; It’s the littles, it’s the littles     That the Lord wants me to know. If I’m faithful in the littles     Then the bigger things can come, But if I won’t do the little things     My growing is just done. – based on Christ’s Object […]

1. It may not be on the mountain’s height,     Nor over the stormy sea; It may not be at the battle’s front     My Lord will have need of me; But if by a still, small voice He calls     To paths that I do not know, I’ll answer dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,     I’ll […]

1. It is vanity to stay up when the working time is done;     It is vanity to labor when God puts to rest the sun. God commands us to be trustful, and to sleep within His arms;     Then to labor without ceasing cannot help, but only harm. 2. When the work seems not completed, it’s […]

1. Go the work, the work of God’s own choosing,     With all your heart, with happiness press on; The work is His, who gave you the position,     And what God does is always rightly done! Go to the work, and sow the seeds He gives you,     It’s not your place to make them sprout and […]
