When soul winners weary because of old age
Or people grow verbally hard to engage,
and the battle of sowing seems too hard to wage,
Remember the power of the printed page.

Where preaching is missing for lack of a stage,
Or a visible witness, the target of rage,
is captured and jailed like a bird in a cage,
Remember the power of the printed page.

There's no other witness like the printed page,
whose message continues, regardless of age;
is never discouraged by somebody's rage,
and to every reader--their own private stage.
