[January 2006 journal entry]
To Love Someone More Dearly is one of the very few hymns I can sing and experience consistent with my ‘non-religious’ approach to spirituality and ethics. The words to the first two verses are –
To love someone more dearly every day, To help a wondering child to find his way, To ponder o’er a noble thought and pray, And smile when evening falls: This is my task.
To follow truth as blind men long for light, To do my best from dawn of day till night, To keep my heart fit for His holy sight, And answer when He calls: This is my task.
