January 31 HEART SERVICE
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in truth.”—St. John iv. 24.
Christ bade us not to worship much,
But just to follow, follow
His Master tone, His Master touch—
For earth is hollow, hollow;
He would not limit us to forms,
But gave us strength against the storms.
But just to follow, follow
His Master tone, His Master touch—
For earth is hollow, hollow;
He would not limit us to forms,
But gave us strength against the storms.
Christ did not leave us lengthy prayers,
But bade us copy, copy
His leading through a world of tares
And sin's red poppy, poppy;
He would not raise a reverend shrine,
But strove to make the heart Divine.
But bade us copy, copy
His leading through a world of tares
And sin's red poppy, poppy;
He would not raise a reverend shrine,
But strove to make the heart Divine.
Christ left no rigid rules to bind,
But Light to follow, follow,
As with the summer sweet and kind
Goes round the swallow, swallow;
He would not lay upon us chains,
But showed us how to conquer pains.
But Light to follow, follow,
As with the summer sweet and kind
Goes round the swallow, swallow;
He would not lay upon us chains,
But showed us how to conquer pains.
Christ asked us not to worship faith
But prove by living, living;
And loyal be like Him to death,
With labour's giving, giving.
He would not have us bow to brooms,
Though they sweep out His temple rooms.
But prove by living, living;
And loyal be like Him to death,
With labour's giving, giving.
He would not have us bow to brooms,
Though they sweep out His temple rooms.

Christ taught us not to seek repose
In tears or laughter, laughter;
But bear the Cross the days disclose
With Him, yet after, after.
In forms He suffered none to rest
Nor feelings, but upon His Breast.
In tears or laughter, laughter;
But bear the Cross the days disclose
With Him, yet after, after.
In forms He suffered none to rest
Nor feelings, but upon His Breast.
Christ gave no rites or legal robe
To be a burden, burden;
But Life to cover all the globe,
And Love as guerdon, guerdon.
We are to imitate His deeds,
Not quarrel in His name for creeds.
To be a burden, burden;
But Life to cover all the globe,
And Love as guerdon, guerdon.
We are to imitate His deeds,
Not quarrel in His name for creeds.
