  If you love and trust the Saviour You can find enough to do; His good deeds and His compassion Will be done and felt by you. His great aims will all be cherished If with Him you’re really one; Can you think of Christ as idle While so much remains undone? His self-sacrificing spirit Will be exercised by you; And your faith will aid you ever While love guides and makes it true. Faith and love that work together Will turn drudgery into joy; And make every service easy That doth trouble and annoy. Love will show where service waits you Tho’ it be but word or song; Faith will prompt you how to do it Be the service short or long. You can never be discouraged While the two together blend; Joined to faith, love meets all trials And endureth to the end. You can leave the lower places, And mount upward every day; Winning character exalted If you faithfully work and pray. You can reach the best attainments Doing service that you find; And a worthier example You can leave to all mankind. |
