He Accepts

God will enclasp
What we commit to Him;
As soon as we yield it.
There is no long interval;
When we let go:
He accepts.

When we come to grief
On His Altar;
We are immediately sealed,
Unto the Lord.
When we consecrate:
He Accepts.

He abideth faithful;
When others stand off,
In mocking voices,
For the acquiescent soul
Answering His clear call:
He accepts.
