Faith is a cathedral grand.
Pictured windows all divine.
No glory when without you stand,
And view their dull and dreary line;
But when within you look about,
And God's own sunlight floods the whole
Each separate ray doth fairly shout
A harmony that fills your soul,
And lifts you into heaven's plane,
And makes your life seem strong and whole;
Oh, then you say that life is true,
That God is good, and love is strong;
That just to live with such a view,
To do God's work, to sing his song,
Is far the best and greatest thing
For which a human heart can pine;
To gladly toil, and love, and sing
Is verily the life divine.
