Treasure in an Earthen Vessel.
H. C. Anstey.
Christian Friend, vol. 13, 1886, p. 196.
Thy grace transforms the shapeless clay 1 To vessel 2 for Thy hand;
Then fills,3 till living waters flow 4 To cheer Thy pilgrim band.
Oh, grace! beyond expression great To choose, and form, and fill Thyself the Fountain, Lord, to be, Unchanged by earthly ill. In PEACE, surpassing human ken, Thy Peace, O Lord, I stand 5 And wait, contented just to be This "vessel" for Thy hand. H. C. Anstey.
