Gerhard Ter Steegen Phil. ii.13 Thou sayest, "Fit me, fashion me for Thee." Stretch forth thine empty hands, and be thou still; O restless soul, thou dost but hinder Me By valiant purpose and by steadfast will. Behold the summer flowers beneath the sun, In stillness his great glory they behold; And sweetly thus his mighty work is done, And resting in his gladness they unfold. So are the sweetness and the joy divine Thine, O beloved, and the work is Mine. |
