LyicsSCORN not the slightest word or deed,
Nor deem it void of pow'r;
There's fruit in each wind-wafted seed,
That waits its natal hour.
A whisper'd word my touch the heart,
And call it back to life;
A look of love bid sin depart,
And still unholy strife.
No act falls fruitless; none can tell
How vast its pow'rs may be,
Nor what results infolded dwell
Within it silently.
Work on, despair not, bring thy mite,
Nor care how small it be;
God is with all that serve the right,
The holy, true, and free!
