Religion
“As He Is.”
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
Religion
God in man, and man in God!
Speed the glorious word abroad;
Heart’s best hope, and Heaven’s plan—
Man in God, and God in man!
Into human history
Blooms the blessed mystery;—
Dayspring darkest night doth span:—
Lo, the Christ! the Son of Man!
Brother, thine the call divine;
Thine the grace, the glory thine;
Life’s ideal in Jesus see:—
As He is, so we may be.
O, how high, how deep, how broad—
Infinite the love of God!
Heaven shall crown the wondrous plan,—
Man in God, and God in man!
