June 25 ALL IN EACH
“That they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and
thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one.”—St.
John xvii. 22, 23.
Can I, a single soldier, face
The awful armies of the night
And do the thing that is delight;
Or flood with joy one famished place,
By leading a lost soul aright?
My strength is weakness, and my love
Though kindled at the founts above.
The awful armies of the night
And do the thing that is delight;
Or flood with joy one famished place,
By leading a lost soul aright?
My strength is weakness, and my love
Though kindled at the founts above.
But O I am a living link
Within the Church of Christ, and stand
Not by my own unaided hand;
For with the thoughts of Heaven I think,
And gather might from God's command.
Not lonely through the dark I reach,
With brothers, in the power of each.
Within the Church of Christ, and stand
Not by my own unaided hand;
For with the thoughts of Heaven I think,
And gather might from God's command.
Not lonely through the dark I reach,
With brothers, in the power of each.
The blessèd Grace which binds in one
All members of our Holy Guild,
Whereby we sow and plant and build,
Flows like a sea through every son—
He with the total force is filled.
And I, though nought, in that defence
Am clothèd with Omnipotence.

Whereby we sow and plant and build,
Flows like a sea through every son—

And I, though nought, in that defence
