Your Mission If you cannot on the ocean, Sail among the swiftest - TopicsExpress



          

Your Mission If you cannot on the ocean, Sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest billows, Laughing at the storms you meet, You can stand among the sailors, Anchored yet within the bay; You can lend a hand to help them, As they launch their boats away If you are too week to journey Up the mountain, steep and high, You can stand within the valley, While the multitude go by. You can chant in happy measure, As they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song. If you have not gold and silver Ever ready to command, If you cannot toward the needy Reach an ever-open hand, You can visit the afflicted, Oer the erring you can weep; You can be a true disciple, Sitting at the Saviors feet. If you cannot in a conflict Prove yourself a soldier true, If where the fire and smoke are thickest Theres no work for you to do, When the battle field is silent, You can go with careful tread; You can bear away the wounded, You can cover up the dead. Do not stand then idly waiting For some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess, She will never come to you. Go and toil in any vineyard Do not fear to do or dare; If you want a field of labor, You can find it anywhere. ~E. M. Gates
