168   And Have the Bright Immensities




[1]
And have the bright immensities
Received our risen Lord
Where light years frame the Pleiades
And point Orion s sword?
Do flaming suns His footsteps trace
Thro corridors sublime
The Lord of interstellar space
And conqueror of time?

[2]
The heav n that hides Him from our sight
Knows neither near nor far;
A little candle sheds its light
As surely as a star.
And where His loving people meet
To share the gift divine
There stands He with unhurrying feet;
There heav nly splendors shine.
