THE GOD WE KNOW.

1. There is a yearning, drawing power, Diffused all nature through ; In ey'ry place, through ev'ry hour, In things both old and new. 2. The starry worlds, in systems join, The dew-drops meet and mate, The rills unite, the streams combine, And all things gravitate. 3. The trees extend their giant arms • In love, towards the sun. The flowers unfold their beaut'ous charms To him, till day is done. 4. And heart seeks heart, with fervent beat, In bird, and beast, and man ; They love, unite, and life repeat; Through love all life began. 5. Love draws, love binds, and love creates, Impels us to preserve, Rules happy homes, and prosp'rous states, Gives life, and health, and nerve. G. And ever thus, throughout all time, Throughout th' eternal whole, The universal force of Love, Remains the moving soul. Auckland. A. Campbell.
