YE NEED NOT LACK.
God hath! What need est thou? An upward tending path Toward the mountain's brow. The God eterna-l hath Summits of snow, supreme, Aloft beyond thy dream. God loves! What lovest thou? Tho energy to fight, The dauntless heart, the amplo brow. Unfailing Truth and Right. Faithful throughout his dread eternities, God loveth more than these. God gives! What givest thou? A feeble passion and a fleeting pain, A trembling hand to hold tho plough— Then dust to dust again. Unwearied toiler, through the ages dim. God giveth to the Heaven and Earth His ever-rolling hymn. God lives! Ye need not die. Gcd gives! Ye need not lack— Filled full with love and immortality. Go forward, look not back. The passing seons proclaim, but cannot span, The Power who hath created earth and Man. —Charles Oscar Palmes
