Laudes Domini ‎#473

473. Minute fidelity

1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed,
Nor deem it void of power;
There's fruit in each wind-wafted see,
That waits its natal hour.

2 A whispered word may touch the heart.
And call it back to life;
A look of love bid sin depart,
And still unholy strife.

3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell
How vast its power may be,
Nor what results infolded dwell
Within it silently.

4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite,
Nor care how small it be;
God is with all that serves the right,
The holy, true, and free.
