“Occupy Till I Come”

(Luke 19:13.)

The only hands that Jesus has
To work on earth's broad field,
Are the hands of those by
Him redeemed And by the Spirit sealed.

The only feet He has on earth
To speed love's message on,
Are those of His beloved saints
Who with Himself are one.

He has no tongues to spread His fame
Or sing His praise below,
But those of His co-heirs of God,
Saved from eternal woe.

Then dearly bought and much loved one,
Train well thy hands and feet,
And tune thy tongue with lofty strains
His glories to repeat.
