If you cannot, in the harvest,
Gather up the richest sheaves, Many a grain both ripe and golden, Oft the careless reaper leaves— Go and glean among the briars Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadow Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
If you have not gold and silver Ever ready to command; If you cannot toward the needy Reach an ever open hand; You can visit the afflicted,
O'er the erring you can weep, With the Saviour's true disciples, You a patient watch may keep.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true, If where fire and smoke are thickest, There's no work for you to do, When the battlefield is silent,
You can go with careful tread, You can bear away the wounded, You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting For some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you. Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do or dare, If you want a field of labor, You can find it anywhere.
-Mrs. Ellen Huntington Gates. English Hymns, 258.
