Poems (Coolidge)/Service
SERVICE
I need not wait some mighty deed In praise of God, for men, to do. For here, to-day, there is enough By which to prove my love is true
I need not search the way to find That to self-sacrifice doth lead, Each thought of daily life may be For others who my help shall need.
I need not sink. nor need I fail, Though weary oft be heart and brain; It is for Christ my strength is spent. His "inasmuch" makes brave again.
I need alone to know that I, A servant, as my Lord may be; As was His life, can also mine Be one of blessèd ministry.
