Religion
No Duty Is Too Difficult To Do
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
Attentive to the work the will requires
The hand achieves the task the heart desires;
No duty is too difficult to do,
The end in view.
The end in view, if hope, or love, it be;
Content, when it can set a brother free;
Or bid him move rejoicing on his way
The while ’tis day.
Attentive to the work the will requires,
The hand perfects the task the heart desires,
No duty is too difficult to do,
The end in view.
