"Shew us the Father. " Chiming stars of space, / And lives that fit the worlds, and means and powers, / A Thought that holds them up reveal to ours -- / A Wisdom we have been made wise to trace.
And, looking out from sweetest Nature's face, / From sunsets, moonlights, rivers, hills, and flowers, / Infinite love and beauty, all the hours, / Woo men that love them with divinest grace; / And to the depths of all the answering soul / High Justice speaks, and calls the world her own; / And yet we long, and yet we have not known / The very Father's face who means the whole!
Shew us the Father! Nature, conscience, love / Revealed in beauty, is there One above?
