But weary and cheerless she went away,

Because, as it happened, that very day

You were "out of touch" with your Lord.

Only a word, yes, only a word,

That the Spirit's small voice whispered "Speak";

But the worker passed onward unblessed and weak

Whom you were meant to have stirred

To courage, devotion, and love anew,

Because when the message came to you

You were "out of touch" with your Lord.
