THE ATHEIST
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Psal.il xiv., 1. There is a God : His voice I hear Borne by the stream that purling flows, Adown the flower-clad vales —its home Lies cradled ’nealh the snows. There is a God : I feel Him near When breezes whisper midst the leaves, As sunset glories paint the skies And swallows seek the eaves. There is a God: His power appears In lightning’s flash and thunder’s roar, -When tempests, broken loose, fast hurl White waves upon the shore. There is a God : His thoughtful care 'The lilies of the field exhale ; With praise the sing and birds Awa! e i hill and vale. Ti-ere is a God : His boundless love Makes light my daily task and cares ; He holds me in His gracious hand And all my sorrow shares. Leroy Purdon, in the Christian Age.
