“The Soul of Man is the candle of the Lord.”

—Phillips Brooks.

XXXVIII
INTERMEZZO—THE VOICE IN NATURE

Cathedral Orchestra and Organ.

Chorus, with Divine Solos.

O Man! Blessed is thine inquisitiveness—to learn and to know:

Cursed is thine inquisition of others.

O Man! Blessed is thy longing—to look upwards and beyond:

Cursed is thy willingness to sink downwards;

Where vice brings vileness in its train.
