Classic Poem

Out of the Vastness that is God
I summon the power to heal me.
It comes, with peace ineffable
And patience, to anneal me.
Ajar I set my soul-doors
Toward unbounded Life
And let the infinitudes of it
Flow through me, vigour-rife.

Out of the Vastness that is God
I summon the power to still me.
It comes from inner deeps, divine
With destinies that thrill me.
It follows the hush of every wrong;
And every vain unrest
It banishes; and leaves a bliss,
Before all unpossest.

Out of the Vastness that is God
I summon the strength to keep me,
And from all fleshly fears and fret
With spirit-winds to sweep me.
I summon the faith that puts to flight
All impotence and ills,
And that, through the wide universe,
Well-being's breath distills.
