Explore "The Call of the Christian" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Not always as the whirlwind's rush On Horeb's mount of fear, Not always as the burning bush To Midian's shepherd seer, Nor as the awful voice which came To Israel's prophet bards, Nor as the tongues of cloven flame, Nor gift of fearful words, --
Not always thus, with outward sign Of fire or voice from Heaven, The message of a truth divine, The call of God is given! Awaking in the human heart Love for the true and right, -- Zeal for the Christian's better part, Strength for the Christian's fight.
