THE DAYSMAN

---

God ever seeks His children's bliss,  Appeals to them; and, rightly heard, The music of creation is  The echo of His Word. But when the child has learnt his part,  The echo is an answer strong; A prayer up-springing from the heart  That blossoms in a song. Christ is the Living Word of God,  His Poem and His Prophecy; The homeward way His Feet have trod  Mankind must travel by.
