A Short Poem

Lord, Thou hast given to me a trust,
     A high and holy dispensation,
To tell the world, and tell I must,
     The story of they great salvation;

Thou might'st have sent from heaven above,
     Angelic hosts to tell the story,
But in thy condescending love,
     On men thou has conferred the glory;

Let me be faithful to my trust,
     Telling the world the story,
Press on my heart the woe,
     Put on my feet the go,
Let me be faithful to my trust,
     And use me for thy glory.
