If knowledge be not thine; thou art as one in deep mid stream so wide that both the banks are hidden from thine eyes.
When may my thoughts be fixed alone on thine who is Himself all sweetness, made all things, Whom all the Vedas sought though seeing dim, who saveth him that to his mercy clings.
When will my God attract to him my soul, and keep it ever near, beneath his care, just as a magnet draws as to a goal unto itself the weighty iron bar.
When will that God who hath no earthly shape, of all the end, and yet who maketh all, whose clear pervading eye nought can escape, accept my services all my soul enthrall.
I have learned of him, and find no single thing in all the world. to show how great his glory, words must fail, to tell the joy, the bliss i have in him. Yet when I try no man believes my speach.
O God I once knew nought of what thou art; And wandered far astray, But when thy light pierced my dark; I woke to know my God. O Lord I long for thee alone. I long for none but thee to dwell within my soul.
When thou didst make me thou didnst know my all, But I knew not of thee, tis not till light from thee gave me to understand of thee, that i could know, But now where ever I sit or walk or stand thou art for ever near.
Can I forget thee that art mine and I am only thine. Even with these eyes I see and with my heart perceive that tho art come to me as lightening from the towering sky.
If thy poor heart but choose the better path and in this path doth worship only God. His heart will stoop to thine, will take thy heart and make it His. One heart shall serve for both when thy poor mind has always God within. The highest one will surely dwell with thee will rob thee of thy sins, as with a tool the artisen will shave or cut clear off each roughness from the wood so will he make thee free from sin and all together pure.
To lay her eggs the turtle swim forth far to reach the sandy shore she buries them and swimmeth back again yet doth her mind adhere to them when young ones break their shell they feel the tie, it draws them like a rope along their mothers path at last they meet. Just so hath God placed us. we wander here while he is far above. Yet in his mind we ever stay the tie doth reach to earth from highest heaven If we but follow we cannot fail to reach and live with Him.
Some think to find their God upon the hills and climb with weary feet. So some declare he is beyond the seas they sail afar to find him out Oh! ignorant and fools Its pride that prompts your work.
HIS sacred feet are in your heart. If there you seek our soul will find the being that alone is real.
Not for a single moment this my God forgotten this helpless me.
Oh! only GOD my king and king of kings I could not live one moment without thee. One mercy more. Bestow that praise may dwell upon my tongue.
