When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man, and skill a man
To play the noblest part;
When God puts it in His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed;
Watch His methods watch His ways;
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects;
How He hammers him and hurts him
And with mighty blows converts him
Intro trial shapes of clay
Which only God understands.
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands.
How he bends but never breaks
While his good He undertakes;
How God uses whom He chooses
And with every purpose fuses him;
Bu every act induces him
To try his splendor out -
God knows what He’s about.
