What Has Been Wrought
Should the power that’s mine
In dreams and fleeting thought
Be turned to reality,
And a crown of gold be brought
And placed before me,
What, O Lord, have I wrought,
If it cometh not from Thee.
What could this worldly honor,
Wealth and passing fame
Mean to me –
Or any other, ready as I to claim
Such temporal glory –
For what, indeed, has been the gain,
If it cometh not from Thee.
(1940)
