ALL THINGS ARE EQUAL to the soul,
That doth no private ends fulfill;
But bends beneath the just control
Of God, the great, the sovereign Will.
It sees, in all things high and low,
The presence of a higher care;
And if there's much it doth not know,
'Tis sure of this, that God is there.
It sees Him in the stormy cloud;
It sees Him in the smiling sun;
And says, with thoughts and purpose bow'd,
In light and cloud, "THY WILL BE DONE."
That doth no private ends fulfill;
But bends beneath the just control
Of God, the great, the sovereign Will.
It sees, in all things high and low,
The presence of a higher care;
And if there's much it doth not know,
'Tis sure of this, that God is there.
It sees Him in the stormy cloud;
It sees Him in the smiling sun;
And says, with thoughts and purpose bow'd,
In light and cloud, "THY WILL BE DONE."
— Christ in the Soul (1872) XLVII.
