AD ASTRA: 87 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THO' SORE ADREAD, O WHEREFORE NEED WE DOUBT
Last Line: NO BABYLON AMID THE DESERT ROSE!
Subject(s): GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
Tho' sore adread, O wherefore need we doubt
The wisdom and the justice of God's choice?
His Kingdom was not 'stablisht from without,
But from within must come the still Small Voice!
No trampling legions bade the World rejoice,
'Jehovah hath prevail'd o'er all His foes!'
No Babylon amid the desert rose!
