LyicsList to the dreamy tone that dwells
In rippling wave or sighing tree;
Go hearken to the old church bells,
The whistling bird, the whizzing bee.
In-terpret right, and you will find,
'T is power and glory they proclaim;
The chimes, the creatures, waters, wind,
All echo, Hallowed by thy name.
The pilgrim journeys till he bleeds,
To gain the altar of his sires:
The hermit pores above his beads,
With zeal that never wanes or tires:
But holiest rite or longest prayer
That art can yield or wisdom frame,
What better import can it bear
Than, "Father, hallowed be thy name."
Or nature, or the bible, read,
Those precious words you'll find there still
We trace them in the flowering mead,
We hear them in the flowing rill,
One chorus hails the great Supreme,
Each varied breathing tells the same;
The strains may differ, but the theme
Is, "Father, hallowed be thy name."
