No coward soul is mine
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere I see Heaven's glories shine And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear
0 God within my breast
Almighty ever-present Deity Life, that in me hast rest As I Undying Life, have power in Thee!
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain, Worthless as withered weeds Or idlest froth amid the boundless main
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by thy infinity So surely anchored on The steadfast rock of Immortality
With wide-embracing love
Thy spirit animates eternal years Pervades and broods above, Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears
Though Earth and moon were gone
And suns and universes ceased to be And thou wert left alone Every Existence would exist in thee
There is not room for Death
Nor atom that his might could render void Since thou art Being and Breath And what thou art may never be destroyed. |
