PSALMS 205

Oh, come now, peace!
Come faith’s increase,
That life’s strong chain shall ever bind me!
That not in vain
I strive and strain
Myself to seek until I find me!

8
Honor the springtide life ever adorning,
That all things has made!
Things smallest have some resurrectional morning,
The forms alone fade.
Life begets life,
Potencies higher surprise.
Kind begets kind,
Heedless of time as it flies.
Worlds pass away and arise.

Nothing so small but there’s something still smaller,
No one can see.

Nothing so great but there’s something still greater
Beyond it can be.
Worms in the earth—

Mountains to make they essay.
Dust without worth,

Sands with which sea-billows play,—

Founders of kingdoms were they.

Infinite all, where the smallest and greatest
Oneness unfold.
