434 | St. Martin’s. C.M.
Church of the ever-living God,
The Father’s gracious choice,
Amid the voices of this earth
How feeble is thy voice!
2 Not many rich or noble called,
Not many great or wise:
They whom God makes his kings and priests
Are poor in human eyes.
3 But the chief Shepherd comes at length;
Their feeble days are o’er,
No more a handful in the earth,
A little flock no more.
H. Bonar, ab.
