And, oh! In after years,
When life is fading fast,
When flow repentant tears —-
Lamenting errors past.
Still shall that holy vow,
Be breathed to Heaven,
And fervently as now,
My heart to Thee be given.
The use of means ought not to lessen our faith in God, and our faith in God ought not to hinder our using whatever means He has given us for the accomplishment of His own purposes.
Hudson Taylor
