AD ASTRA: 133 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: TO MAN PERTAINS A GLORY THAT DOTH FORCE
Last Line: THAT GLANCE TO WHICH THE MIGHT OF GODHEAD CLEAVES!
Subject(s): GOD; MANKIND; RELIGION; HUMAN RACE; THEOLOGY;

To Man pertains a glory that doth force
E'en from the brute acknowledgment of God!
Flowing from that same transcendental Source,
That hath through Man the teeming world subdued,
That makes him fear'd by all the forest brood,
Since none unshrinkingly his glance receives,
That glance to which the might of Godhead cleaves!
