bring: His all thy future-- "Doe the nexte thynge." Do it immediately, Do it with prayer, Do it reliantly, Casting all care: Do it with reverence, Tracing His hand Who hath placed it before thee With earnest command. Stayed on Omnipotence, Safe, 'neath his wing, Leave all resultings, "Doe the nexte thynge." Looking to Jesus, Ever serener, Working or suffering, Be thy demeanor! In the shade of his presence, The rest of his calm, The light of his countenance, Live out thy psalm: Strong in his faithfulness. Praise him and sing, Then as he beckons thee, "Doe the nexte thynge."

An old man ready for his earthly bed, A beggar with a jar upon his head, Came by, and to the mourning spinner there Said, "Woman, I this vase of milk should bear Unto a dweller in the hamlet near; But I am weak and bent with many a year; More than a thousand paces yet to go Remain, and, without help, I surely
