Explore "The Gift" by Mary Alice Walton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ God calls you, my Daughter -- I hear the sweet voice / Of Jesus our Saviour, He would make you His choice, / To work in His vineyard, to teach in His name; / He'd give you the power, lost souls to reclaim.
I give you, my darling, an offering to Him / Who died to redeem us, to save us from sin; / Be filled with His spirit, be strong in the strife, / Bring souls unto Jesus, in Christ there is life.
And when all is over and we meet on the shore / Of Heaven's fair Jordan, to part nevermore, / With Christ ever present to soothe away tears, / All pain we'll forget of these sorrowful years.
