Ben Davies, The Sixteen, Jeremy Budd, Julie Cooper and Elisabeth Paul - Nothing in Vain

God has created me to do some definite service -
Some work which has not been committed to another.
I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.
I shall do good, be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place
If I do but keep God's commandments.

Whatever I am I can never be thrown away.
My sickness, my perplexity, my sorrow may serve God
Who does nothing in vain.
When I am amongst strangers and friendless,
When my spirits sink and my future is hidden,
Still I may serve
For God does nothing in vain.

Written by:
Eoghan Desmond, Robert Willis, St John Henry Newman
