MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY THE LORD', by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My soul shall be a telescope
Last Line: The lord must magnify
Subject(s): God


My soul shall be a telescope,
Searching the distant bounds of time and space,
That somehow I may image, as I grope,
Jehovah's power and grace.

My soul a microscope shall be.
In all minutest providences keen
Jehovah's patient though tfulnesa to see.
And read His love between.

My soul shall be a burning-glass.
That diligence to worship may succeed.
That I may catch God's glories as they pass,
And focus to a deed.

No. even so,
A mote in His creation, even I,
Seeking alone to do, to feel, to know.
The Lord must magnify.
