Classic Poem

" GOD of all power and might,
Giver of all good things,
Who foldest day and night
In Thy almighty wings:
Thou who didst draw the plan,
And light the lamp of the sun,
And kindle the soul of man;
Now that the task is done,
Grant to me, crown of it all,
Grant me the final grace:
Master, hear my call;
Maker, show Thy face."

" Yea, I made the earth and skies
And the wisdom of the wise,
Cloud and storm and waters wild —
And the mother and the child.
Yea, I made thee what thou art:
And the secrets of my heart
And my might and majesty,
Have they not been given to thee?
Lo, I laid them in thy hand —
And thou didst not understand."
