Latter-Day Psalms
GOD
The voice of God spake out of his creation:
I have made a law, that is my law of beauty. I have ordained my heavens that they shall blossom and wither away.
The flower shall die, but the seed shall flourish. Like a flower, the world shall perish, but the spirit that is born therein shall live.
If the spirit has need, shall I not make other universes for her sake, to be ethereal according to her necessity?
As for you, oh Men, out of lifelessness I made you to live. Out of unconsciousness I gave you the glory of thought.
Have ye fear that I will let you slip again into nothingness? Do ye hunger after eternity all your life long?
Be sure that if ye die utterly, it is best that ye die; and if ye live for ever, it is best that ye live.
For I have made you to fulfil my purpose. Nothing that is in you shall be lost from me.
