<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span>O soul, it is not thine,<br/></span>
<span>But lent to thee in trust<br/></span>
<span>That thou may'st make God's glory shine,<br/></span>
<span>Secured from moth and rust.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Thou can'st not take one mite<br/></span>
<span>Except as thou dost give<br/></span>
<span>And waft it in the golden light<br/></span>
<span>Where heaven's glories live.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Go look for those in need—<br/></span>
<span>The hungry and the cold.<br/></span>
<span>Kind words and actions are the seed<br/></span>
<span>Which yield their fruits of gold.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Give to the heathen world<br/></span>
<span>Knowledge of Christ our Lord;<br/></span>
<span>Pray that his banner be unfurled;<br/></span>
<span>Send forth, his priceless word.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>He lived for us and died,<br/></span>
<span>And intercedes above.<br/></span>
<span>His blood, a sacrificial tide,<br/></span>
<span>Redeems us by his love.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>"Barbarian, bond and free,<br/></span>
<span>The wise and the unwise"—<br/></span>
<span>'Tis ours to give and theirs to see<br/></span>
<span>Salvation's blood-bought prize.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>We know not 'neath the sky<br/></span>
<span>Who'll gather of our store,<br/></span>
<span>But if we lay it up on high,<br/></span>
<span>'Tis ours forevermore.<br/></span></div>
