Joscelyn .
Hail, good
and
learned
Dives .
Tell
us
then
Andrea .
Aye, what know
you of
Him
?
Dives .
When
battles
cease
He moves
among
the busy
marts
of men ,
Revealed
in
trade ,
prosperity
and
peace .
When
I was young I put my
faith
in war,
And
felt
Him
stir
like
battle
in
my heart;
But manhood
brought me wisdom
and
I
saw
God
in
the subtle
contest
of
the mart .
He
loves
the
man
of
square
and
stubborn
power ,
Who
bides
in
concentrated
watchfulness
The perfect moment
of
the
perfect
hour,
And
wears
the
courage
of his own
success .
' Twas He exalted
me
to
where
I
stand ;
I
owe my
wealth
to
Him ,
and
without
shame,
Have
therefore
always
followed His
command ,
And
every
sabbath
glorified His
Name.
He will not scrutinize ,
nor
question
why ;
But
trust my general
plan .
If He, anew ,
Perchance
may
need
to
fight, utility ,
Not
glory , will incite
Him
thereunto .
Lo,
in
His
service
all my life
is spent
Creating
righteous labour , which
is bread :
(Lazarus
enters .
He loves me well , and
I am
confident
He will receive my
soul when
I am
dead .
