Thou who didst fashion man on earth, to be
String in Thy strength, and with Thy freedom free,
Complete at last Thy great design in me.
Cost what it may of sorrow and distress,
Of empty hands, of utter loneliness,
I dare not, Lord, be satisfied with less.
So, Lord, reclaim Thy great design in me,
Give or reclaim Thy gifts, but let me be
Strong in Thy strength, and with Thy freedom free.
- Springs in the Valley (November 12)
