September 26 DEEP UNTO DEEP
“Thy judgments are a great deep.”—Ps. xxxvi. 6.
Deep calleth unto deep and heart on heart
Though a full world apart,
And man for him who is his brother cries
Across the centuries;
And time and space are nothing to the soul
A ray of God's grand universal whole,
Which looks before and after
And heeds not tears or laughter;
But keeps the guiding clue which runs through all
The future, past, and present,
Which binds the sunrise to the seeming fall
And crowns at last the peasant.
Though a full world apart,
And man for him who is his brother cries

A ray of God's grand universal whole,

And heeds not tears or laughter;
But keeps the guiding clue which runs through all
The future, past, and present,
Which binds the sunrise to the seeming fall
And crowns at last the peasant.
Deep calleth unto deep and man on man
Within the wider plan,
And gentle spirits for their kin unseen
Whatever lies between;
They come from old Eternity's great womb
Which is at once their mother and their tomb,
And marries them in beauty
Of the same death and duty;
And morn and midnight shed a common light
Round heads that are anointed,
To carry in their breasts the secret sight
And walk the path appointed.
