'Devotion must fit us for duty
Devotion must fit us for duty
We must listen at Heaven's gates, before we can go out to sing the heavenly songs in the ears of human weariness and sorrow.
Our lips must be touched with a coal from God's altar, before we can become God's messengers to men.
We must lie much upon Christ's bosom, before our poor earthly lives are transformed by Christ, and made to shine in the transfigured beauty of His blessed life.
Devotion must fit us for duty .
