The Potter's Wheel

By R.S.B.

l

A vessel unto honour, sanctified, and
meet for the Master’s use. 2Timothy 2:21.

l

l

He shapeth at the potter’s wheel

The vessel He hath planned,

Our little mould of human clay

Is in His mighty hand:

We dare not tell Him what to do,

Nor should we doubt His skill,

But wholly yield ourselves to Him

To work his perfect will.

He riseth from the potter’s wheel,

His workmanship complete,

And lifteth in His skilful hands

The vessel, trim and neat:

With admiration and delight

He setteth it aside,

Meet only for the Master’s use,

In honour to abide.

‘Tis thus that God doth work in us

That perfect work begun,

And will perform it till we bear

The likeness of His Son:

When in the glory of His house

Each vessel will display

The wonders of His matchless grace

For ever and for aye.
