Samuel Johnson - Inspiration

Samuel Johnson - Inspiration

LIFE of Ages, richly poured, br Love of God, unspent and free, br Flowing in the Prophet’s word br And the People’s liberty! br br Never was to chosen race br That unstinted tide confined; br Thine is every time and place, br Fountain sweet of heart and mind! br br Secret of the morning stars, br Motion of the oldest hours, br Pledge through elemental wars br Of the coming spirit’s powers! br br Rolling planet, flaming sun, br Stand in nobler man complete; br Prescient laws Thine errands run, br Frame the shrine for Godhead meet. br br Homeward led, the wondering eye br Upward yearned in joy or awe, br Found the love that waited nigh, br Guidance of Thy guardian Law. br br In the touch of earth it thrilled; br Down from mystic skies it burned: br Right obeyed and passion stilled br Its eternal gladness earned.
