One small life in God’s great plan -
How futile it seems as the ages roll,
Do what it may or strive how it can
To alter the sweep of the infinite whole!
A single stitch in an endless web,
A drop in the ocean’s flow or ebb;
But the pattern is rent where the stitch is lost,
Or marred where the tangled threads have crossed:
And each life that fails of its true intent
Mars the perfect plan that its Master meant.
