"The world's a train at speeding rate

"The world's a train at speeding rate;
An iron track its wheels await;
We're all on board--beyond is darkness,
For God is only a name for Fate."

Thus mouths and blasphemes round about
An age in bondage to its doubt.
"Pray!" says the soul, and God, and Christ--and
Freedom affirm with a ringing shout

"Believe in God, believe in Me,"
Is freedom's voice like sounding sea,
Its grand AMEN from Him that liveth
And holds of this, and all worlds, the key.
