Thou everlasting rock! Unchanging, firm,
That standest midst the storm and tide of years!
Unmoved by shifting sands of theories,
Unaltered by men's concepts or men's fears!
O Thou eternal substance! Thou who art
The same today, forever—endless life,
Grant us to know that Mind immutable
Which naught beholds of discord, pain, or strife.
Grant us, O Lord, to know the real, the true;
To seek that glorious sonship of the free
Where, closed to dreams of changing joy and woe,
Our wakened eyes behold the light—and Thee!
