GOD . . . . Thy immensity,
Thy limitless eternity,
Thy boundless Love.
From the great silent heart of Thee
Comes all.

God, Omniscient Mind,
The Principal back of all Thy manifestations.
Love, the Divine Creative Force of all Life,
Of Thee was born Thy Idea.
Out of Thy great Cosmic Breath sprang Thy perfect Worlds.
And all was good.

Thy image and likeness—
Man,
Son of the Father GOD,
Prince of Life Universal,
Born of the Force of Love,
Creator and Guardian of the Life Force,
Building eon after eon, century after century.
Time and Space are not to Thee,
Eternal Life.
As the Nautilus builds his shell
Man builds his Soul—his shell that holds Life.
—Ora M. Shand.
