Ever alert to do his Lord's command,
Whether to stand and wait, or forward go,
He strives obediently, his staff in hand,
To use the wisdom God doth e'er bestow,
In all humility.
With feet full-shod with peace, he thinks aright;
Endued with faith, he knows that Truth divine
Doth banish fear and shine through darkest night.
And so equipped to further Love's design,
God's minute-man is he!
