First Line: If we would fathom his august decree

Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Spirituality
If we would fathom His august decree,
And so determine His divine intent—
O that the mind of man should strive to see
Into that Great, Primæval Element,
The Spirit-force where with our lives are blent!—

Because we cannot reason all things clear?—
