Mark 3:20: They could not so much as eat bread

Dispensers of the joyful word,
Taught by the' example of our Lord,
We in His footsteps tread.
Servants of souls, for them we live.
Our utmost strength and labour give.
To serve their every need.

On them we day and night attend,
Our graces, gifts, and talents spend,
Each precious moment buy,
Forget our needful rest and food.
Spend all our lives for sinners' good,
And in their service die.
