Whispers of His Power – APRIL 24
Ps. 45.1 (RV margin): My work is for a King.
What is your work? To help sick people, or little people, or tiresome people? To cook and clean, to make and mend, to work in office or shop or factory? To do the hundreds of odds and ends that every day brings?
Does the whisper ever come to you, ‘What is the use?’ If it does, let these words answer it. My work is for a King.
For the quiet joy of Duty,
Praise, praise I sing,
For the commonplace and lowly,
Set with pleasure high and holy,
In each unromantic thing,
Praise, praise to Thee, my King.
oooOOOooo
