...and thrill a man and skill a man;
When God wants to mold a man to play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart to create so great and bold a man,
That all the world might be amazed, watch His methods; watch His ways.
How he ruthlessly perfects whom He royally elects.
How He hammers and hurts him, and with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay that only God understands,
While his tortured heart is crying, and he lifts beseeching hands.
How He bends but never breaks when His good He undertakes.
How He uses whom He chooses, and with mighty acts induces him
To try His splendor out; God knows what He’s about!”
