Seek not for some far off mis­sion,
Undone work is close at hand;
Wait not for some glo­ri­ous vi­sion,
Almost com­ing with com­mand.

Refrain

Do the du­ty ly­ing near­est,
Even tho’ it hum­ble be,
There may come some price­less bless­ing,
Lasting as eter­ni­ty.

Opportunities will greet thee,
Only watch with great­est care;
Something brave to do, it may be,
Or, per­haps, some­thing to bear.

Refrain

All the need­ed help He’ll give thee,
Tho’ He work, or tri­als send;
Only trust and love Him al­ways,
Serving faith­ful to the end.

Refrain
