It May Not Be Our Lot (EN 4793)

EN 4793 It May Not Be Our Lot

Rom.14.18

Versi Version 1

1

It may not be our lot to wield

The sickle in the ripened field;

Nor ours to hear, on summer eves,

The reaper’s song among the sheaves.

2

Yet where our duty’s task is wrought

In unison with God’s great thought,

The near and future blend in one,

And whatsoe’er is willed, is done.

3

And ours the grateful service whence

Comes, day by day, the recompense;

The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed,

The fountain, and the noonday shade.

4

And were this lift the utmost span,

The only end and aim of man,

Better the toil of fields like these

Than waking dream and slotfhful ease.

5

But life, though falling like our grain,

Like that revives and springs again;

And, early called, how blest are they

Who wait in heaven, their harvest day!
