DEDICATION.
Unseen and omnipresent Power,
Eternal Wisdom, boundless Love,
Whose finger paints the lowliest flower,
And strews the starry fields above!
Eternal Wisdom, boundless Love,
Whose finger paints the lowliest flower,
And strews the starry fields above!
Where shall thy glorious home be found?
Shall man, a mote in endless space,
Lost in creation's blazing round,
Build for his God a dwelling-place?
Shall man, a mote in endless space,
Lost in creation's blazing round,
Build for his God a dwelling-place?
Lord, in our hearts thy temple build,
Our thoughts thy chosen mansion be;
A mansion with thy spirit filled,
Thy love, thy peace, thy purity!
Our thoughts thy chosen mansion be;
A mansion with thy spirit filled,
Thy love, thy peace, thy purity!
