To favor God with their best advices,

And consider they’re something more than kind

In helping Him out of critical crises.

But the world runs on, as it ran before,

And eternally shall run evermore.

So many good people, like you and me,

Are deeply concerned for the sins of others,

And conceive it their duty that God should be

Apprised of the lack in erring brothers.

And the myriad sun-stars seed the skies
