I felt the quickening breath of Life divine
When first the truth came to my waking thought;
It came on tireless wings of healing grace,
And to my tired heart new vigor brought.
It lifted me above the fear of pain;
I felt the strength of Spirit's holy might,
Which holds and keeps the universe and man
Forever in the consciousness of light.
It was Life's sovereign, ever-present power,
The truth sustaining and maintaining all
In God's eternal, incorporeal realm,
From which the pure idea can never fall.
