Not by far-famed deeds alone

Representative Text

1 Not by far-famed deeds alone
God's kingdom comes to birth;
the memory of countless saints
has perished from the earth.

2 John and Peter, James and Paul,
have left a mighty fame:
another of their company
is nothing but a name.

3 Yet for him no less the call
and gallant course to run;
his too to hear at journey's end
the Master's glad 'Well done!'
