by Unknown

Is still “Thy will be done!”

Mary Anne Brown.

By scale and method works the Will Supreme,

Nor clouds, nor waves, without a limit stream;

And all the floods that daylight never saw,

The rayless tide of ruin, owns a law.

O’er all confusions marring earth and air,

O’er all the shuddering hours of man’s despair,

Still reigns one fixed decree of peace and love,

And still, though dim below, ’tis bright above.
