Into the heaven of Thy heart, O God,...

Lucy Larcom

Into the heaven of Thy heart, O God,
I lift my life like a flower;
Thy light is deep and Thy love is broad,
And I am not the child of an hour.

I dare to say unto Thee, my God,
Who hast made me to climb so high,
That I shall not crumble away with the clod,
I am Thine, and I cannot die.

The throb of Thy infinite life I feel
In every beat of my heart;
Upon me Thou hast set eternity's seal,
Forever alive, as Thou art.

Lucy Larcom.
