Nothing in Vain

God has created me to do some definite service - Some work which has not been committed to another. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. I shall do good, be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place If I do but keep God's commandments. Whatever I am I can never be thrown away. My sickness, my perplexity, my sorrow may serve God Who does nothing in vain. When I am amongst strangers and friendless, When my spirits sink and my future is hidden, Still I may serve For God does nothing in vain.
