OUR MAIN BUSINESS

                                                                      OUR MAIN BUSINESS

                                     "Our main business in life," wrote Thomas
                                     Carlyle, is not to see what lies dimly at a 
                                     distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."

                                     What lies at hand, Oh Lord
                                     What work would Thou have us do
                                     Reveal to us Thy will, Oh Lord
                                     Reveal to us our plans from You.

                                    As the world revolves around us,
                                    Like one gigantic clamours band
                                    Let us seek Thy face, Oh Lord
                                    And with calm assurance, stand.

                                   No far, dim distance need we see
                                   Only that which clearly lies at hand
                                   To know Thy present purpose, Oh Lord
                                   Is thy desire for every woman
                                   Is Thy desire for every man.
