That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need <span>Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best </span> <span>Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state </span> <span>Is kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed </span> <span>And post o’er land and ocean without rest: </span> <span>They also serve who only stand and wait.” </span>
<span>Rather than demanding work, God asks only for faith, devotion, or acceptance. </span>
