AD ASTRA: 76 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: WHY THRO' VAST AEONS WAS THE LIGHT DELAY'D?
Last Line: AND NEVER A WIND OF GRACE BLEW FROM HIS THRONE!
Subject(s): GOD; KINDNESS; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Why thro' vast æons was The Light delay'd?
Why was the knowledge of The Way denied?
Where was God's Loving-kindness, where His aid
In those dark ages of adulterous pride?
That He could in His peaceful Heaven abide
While sorrow and ancient pain on earth made moan,
And never a Wind of Grace blew from His throne!
