No body is for Him too small
Again on earth to occupy;—
The Babe of Bethlehem held all
The Presence, here, of the Most High!

ABILITY
Ability doth often sleep
To wakened be, by praise,
And then, perhaps, 'twill overleap
All obstacles we raise!
To wakened be, by praise,
And then, perhaps, 'twill overleap
All obstacles we raise!
No man his own ability
E'er wholly comprehends
Until, in some emergency,
All on his strength depends.
E'er wholly comprehends
Until, in some emergency,
All on his strength depends.
Perhaps we feel a strength beyond
That by our deeds expressed?
Be sure it waiteth to respond
To some oncoming test!
That by our deeds expressed?
Be sure it waiteth to respond
To some oncoming test!
Respons-ability is this:—
Ability to give
Response of all that in us is,
To need, while we shall live!
Ability to give
Response of all that in us is,
To need, while we shall live!
