LIFT UP THINE EYES

From the August 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Lift up thy saddened eyes in hope, thou child
Of God. Can thought be born of that which
hath
No power of thought? Whence comes thy
wondrous soul
Unless there somewhere be a grander Soul
Which touches thine through laws that never
change?
The universe is vast indeed! but He
Who planned and made it, fills it through and
through
From smallest atom to the largest star,
There is no point in space where chaos reigns.
Lean, then, securely on the Eternal Law
That rests upon the Everlasting thought,
And underlies all Life and Truth.
