 GOD

God! - What a great and holy name!
Oh! who can speak His worth?  
By saints in heaven He is adored,  
Obeyed by men on earth
And yet a little child may bend
And say: "My Father and my Friend."

The glorious sun, which blazes high,
The moon, more pale and dim.
And all the stars which fill the sky,
Are made and ruled by Him:
And yet a child may ask His care.
And call upon His name in prayer.

And this large world of ours below,
The waters and the land,
And all the trees and flowers that grow,
Were fashioned by His hand;
Yes, - and He forms our infant race,
And even I may seek His face.
