The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

June 5

Make me a fellow worker with thee, Christ;

Nought else befits a God-born energy;

Of all that's lovely, only lives the highest,

Lifing the rest that it shall never die.

Up I would be to help thee—for thou liest

Not, linen-swathed in Joseph's garden-tomb,

But walkest crowned, creation's heart and bloom.
