BY MANY PATHS.
By many names the one true God is known;By many shrines man’s faith in Him is shown;—Varuna, Vishnu, Agni, Indra,—One!As stars confess the all-sustaining sun.By many paths true, humble hearts are broughtAt last to Him whom they in darkness sought.All lands alike the Father’s mercies share;No age was ever orphaned of His care;—For souls sincere, forever has sufficedThe boundless merit of the blessed Christ;And over all forever shall extendThe love that knows no measure and no end.
