And carries its own answer unaware.

Yes, they whose feet upon good errands run

Are friends of God, with Michael of the sun;

Yes, each accomplished service of the day

Paves for the feet of God a lordlier way.

The souls that love and labor through all wrong,

They clasp His hand and make the circle strong;

They lay the deep foundation, stone by stone,

And build into Eternity God’s throne!

He is more pleased by some sweet human use
