Which takes the course of what God has made;
And is not trusting in walls and towers,
But slowly growing from seeds to flowers.
2 Each noble service that has been wrought
Was first conceived as a fruitful thought;
Each worthy cause with a future glorious
By quietly growing becomes victorious.
3 There by itself like a tree it shows:
That high it reaches as deep it grows
And when the storms are its branches shaking,
It deeper root in the soil is taking.
4 Be then no more by a storm dismayed,
For by it the full-grown seeds are laid;
And though the tree by its might it shatters,
What then, if thousands of seeds it scatters? Topics: Commitment; Service Tune Title: [That cause can neither be lost nor stayed]
That Cause Can Neither Be Lost nor Stayed
