give him or her I love, this quenchless faith

6

Give me, O God, to sing that thought!

Give me — give him or her I love, this quenchless faith

In Thy ensemble. Whatever else withheld, withhold not from us,

Belief in plan of Thee enclosed in Time and Space,

Health, peace, salvation universal.

Is it a dream?

Nay, but the lack of it the dream,

And, failing it, life's lore and wealth a dream,

And all the world a dream.
