IN THE SILENCE by ELEANOR BICHNELL FORBES

First Line: IN THE SILENCE I AM LISTENING
Last Line: "SEND THEM ME, THY WORK TO DO."
Subject(s): SILENCE;
In the silence I am listening,
Listening for Thy message clear,
"I am calling thee to service,
Go thou forth, there is naught to fear."

In the silence God is waiting,
Waiting for an answer true:
"I am ready, O my Father,
Send them me, Thy work to do."
