IV. The Deeps of World Vision.
What care 1 for caste or creed? it is the deed, it is the deed. What for c lass, or what for c lan? It is the man, it is the man. Heirs of love and joy and >voe, Who is high and who is low; Mountain, valley, sky and sea, One Cod and one Humanity. What care I for robe or stole? It is the soul, it is the soul. What for crown or what for c rest? It is the heart within the breast. It is the faith, it is the hone. It is the struggle up the slope; It is the brain, and eye to s- e One God and one Humanity. IJM MH HI T. launch out into the deep. The awful depths of a world’s despair; Hearts that are breaking and eyes tha* weep. Sorrow and ruin and death are ther . And the sea is wide, and the pitiless tide Bears on his bosom awa> away. Beauty and youth in relent ess ruth. To its dark abyss for aye for aye. But the Master’s voice comes over the sea, “ ‘Let dow n your nets for a draught* for Me’ ; He stands in our midst on our wreckstrewn strand. And sweet and royal is His command. His pleading call Is “reach -to all!”
And wherever the ro.\al call is heard, There hang the nets of the royal word; Trust to the net.s, and not to your skill; Trust to the Royal Master s will; Let down your nets, each day, each hour, Kor the word of a King is a word of power: And the King's own voice comes ove*» the sea, " ‘Let down your nets for » draught' for Me!'
