THE BUILDERS
"The house is not for me, it is for Him.
His Royal thoughts require many a stair,
Many a tower, many an outlook fair,
Of which I have no thought, and need no care.
Where I am most perplexed, it may be there
Thou makest a secret chamber holy—dim,
Where Thou wilt come to help my deepest prayer."
George Macdonald.
"Toil, workman, toil; thy gracious Lord
Will give thee soon a full reward;
Then toil, obedient to His word,
Until He come.
Sing, pilgrim, sing; Christ's mighty Hand
Will bring thee safe to that bright land;
Then sing—it is thy Lord's command—
Until He come."
Anon.
