SibleyHunter:
No coward soul is mine,
SibleyHunter:
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
SibleyHunter:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
SibleyHunter:
And Faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.
SibleyHunter:
O God within my breast,
SibleyHunter:
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
SibleyHunter:
Life, that in me has rest,
SibleyHunter:
As I, undying Life, have power in Thee!
SibleyHunter:
Vain are the thousand creeds
SibleyHunter:
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
SibleyHunter:
Worthless as withered weeds,
SibleyHunter:
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,
SibleyHunter:
To waken doubt in one
SibleyHunter:
Holding so fast by Thy infinity,
SibleyHunter:
So surely anchored on....
SibleyHunter:
The steadfast rock of Immortality.
SibleyHunter:
With wide-embracing love (Awhina)....
SibleyHunter:
Thy Spirit animates eternal years,
SibleyHunter:
Pervades and broods above,
SibleyHunter:
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears.
SibleyHunter:
Though earth and moon were gone,
SibleyHunter:
And suns and universes ceased to be,
SibleyHunter:
And Thou wert left alone,
SibleyHunter:
Every existence would exist in Thee.
SibleyHunter:
There is not room for Death,
SibleyHunter:
Nor atom that his might could render void:
SibleyHunter:
Thou -Thou art Being and Breath,
SibleyHunter:
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
SibleyHunter:
No Coward Soul Is Mine
SibleyHunter:
