The Servant of The Lord
He with tradesman’s wondrous art, Well known in every city’s mart, Retires at length from storm and stress And freedom finds from long duress, Content in leisure to abide And calmly spend life’s eventide. Not so the servant of the Lord Who heedeth well his Master’s word, Engaged in warfare from his youth, Contending valiantly for truth, Opposing sin in all its forms Through summer heat and winter storms. So even when the strength is small Response is made to duty’s call; And while the younger take the field, Age doth a moral weapon wield; And facing front at set of sun, One marches west with harness on.
—William Colton Clark, in "Advance.”
