Lord, subdue our selfish will;
Each to each our tempers suit,
By thy modulating skill,
Heart to heart, as lute to lute.
--Charles Wesley.
One of the last, slowly murmured sayings of Whittier, was this:
"Give--my--love--to--the--world." And this is the world's supreme
need to-day; more than our eloquence, or our knowledge, or our
wealth, or all else besides, it needs our love. True, even love may
sometimes err; but the cure for love's mistakes is just more love;
we often blunder because we do not love enough. God help us all
that, like Whittier, we may live and die, giving our love to the
world.
--George Jackson.
Love never faileth.
--1 Corinthians 13. 8.
Lord God, help me to see the beauty of the world, and through my duty
may I find the love in the world. May I not spend my life in
discontent, but may I remember that thou hast said, "The meek shall
inherit the earth." Fill my heart with compassion, that I may love my
fellow man as I love myself. Amen.
