A booklet put in a letter, folded with thoughtful care
And sealed with earnest longing, and a short, heart-spoken prayer;
Commended to the Saviour, and sent forth on its way,
His changeless loving kindness, His faithfulness to say:
Not much to give to Jesus, easy this work for Him,
But the world is growing older, and faith oft groweth dim:
And the time is passing quickly, and it needs that some should stand
And do small things for Jesus, with free unsparing hand.
