I would my work were better done;
I would it were but just begun;
For, listening where I waiting stand,
Comes music from the Better Land.
busy hand and heart and brain,
Why have ye toiled so long in vain?
I feel that unknown world so near!
And yet my spirit knows no fear.
For longer life I will not pray,
I will not ask another day;
For the dear Father even yet-
New chance may give, new tasks may set.
Beyond the grave, to thee more true,
O, give me still thy work to do;
The power to serve thou'lt surely spare;
Shall not thy service wait me there?
