THE LARGER LIFE.
My years are very few, O God!More rapidly they passThan clouds whose transient tale is toldIn shadows on the grass.My years are very few, O God!But they are full of Thee:—A drop of being in Thy life’sUnfathomable sea.My years are very few, O God!Oh, let me clearly seeHow they grow strong and beautifulIn Thy immensity.My years are very few, O God!The sum of them is small,—But each may serve Thy blessed will,And Thou shalt have them all.My years are very few, O God!On earth, but not in heaven;—To Thee, eternal Life and Love,Be endless praises given.
