from "Old Collection"
Pressed out of measure and pressed to all length;
Pressed so intensely, it seems beyond strength;
Pressed in the body and pressed in the soul.
Pressed in the mind till the dark surges roll;
Pressed by foes and pressure by friends;
Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends,
Pressed into knowing no helper but God;
Pressed into loving the staff and the rod;
Pressed into liberty where nothing clings;
Pressed into faith for impossible things.
Pressed into living a life in the Lord,
Pressed into living a Christ life outpoured.
