GOD BENDS BUT HE NEVER BREAKS

When God wants to drill a man, and skill a man,

when God wants to mould a man to play the noblest part,

When he yearns with all his heart so great and bold a man

That all the world should be amazed

Watch His methods, watch His ways

How He ruthlessly perfects

whom He royally elects

How he hammers him and hurts him;

And with mighty blows converts him

into shapes and forms of clay

Which only God can understand.



While man's tortured heart is crying

and he lifts beseeching hands;

Yet God bends but never breaks

When man's good He undertakes;

How He uses whom He chooses,

And with mighty power infuses him,

With every act induced Him to try his splendour out,

God knows what he's about.
