God's Music

God's Music

Since ever the world was fashioned,
Water and air and sod,
A music of divers meanings.
Has flowed from the hand of God.
In valley and gorge and upland.
On stormy mountain height.
He makes him a harp of the forest.
He sweeps the chords with might.
He puts forth his hand to the ocean.
He speaks and the waters flow -
Now in a chorus of thunder,
Now in a cadence low.
He touches the waving flower-bells.
He plays on the woodland streams -
A tender song - like a mother
Sings to her child in dreams.
But the music divinest and dearest.
Since ever the world began,
Is the manifold passionate music
He draws from the heart of man.
