Heart of God

Listen in the reader

O great Heart of God, Once vague and lost to me, Why do I throb with your throb to-night, In this land, Eternity? O little Heart of God, Sweet intruding stranger, You are laughing in my human breast, A Christ-child in a manger. Heart, dear Heart of God, Beside you now I kneel, Strong Heart of Faith. O Heart not mine, Where God has set His seal. Wild thundering Heart of God Out of my doubt I come, And my foolish feet with prophets' feet, March with the prophets' drum.
