Never an idea of God but holds in itself completeness,
As the common wayside flower has sun and sod to sustain it,
As the tiny bursting seed has within all the tree is needing.
For every rising tide there is a law to detain it.
The upward-soaring bird has strength in the wing to uphold it.
The fervent prayer for help brings the answer before it is uttered.
The command of God to go forth gives all that is needed to prove it.
