AD ASTRA: 98, by                    
First Line: O god, if all our thoughts of thee are vain!
Last Line: Too shallow for the needs of every day!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology


O God, if all our thoughts of Thee are vain!
How fitfully the Lamp of Faith doth gleam!
Life holds so much of bitterness and pain,
How may we know Thy power is all-supreme?
Life's Tiding Grace?—Ah, like a limpid stream
That purls and ripples on its sun-bright way,
Too shallow for the needs of every day!
