The ages pass; proud empires fall—their names are writ in sand;
But time takes nothing from our God, nor stays His mighty hand.
His power knows no let nor loss, but with omnipotence
Uplifts and heals and frees mankind from all the claims of sense.
And now the works of Science come, with signs and wonders filled,
To prove dominion yet is man's—the tempest will be stilled.
Poems
He Worketh Signs and Wonders
