INASMUCH, by                    
First Line: You asked not whence we came, nor where we went
Last Line: Name us your god that we may worship him.
Subject(s): Religion; Travel; Theology; Journeys; Trips


You asked not whence we came, nor where we went;
That we were spent and famished that you saw;
You led us through your door to all content,
What is your law?

You brought cool water for our hands and feet;
We whom the road had broken with its rods,
You poured the wine -- you bade us rest and eat,
Who are your gods?

No little words our gratitude can fit;
Parting, we lean to kiss your garment's hem,
Tell us your law that we may honor it,
Name us your God that we may worship Him.
