2 No offering is made in vain;

Some human soul shall feel our love;

E’en weary hours of toil and pain

Shall help to lift our souls above:

And may our recompense be given,

In leading many souls to heaven!

3 And still trust on! with trembling hand,

’Tis ours a little seed to sow;

It springs at the divine command,—

Shall, if God will, to ripeness grow;
