My Creed

Frank Swee

My creed is Love, and Love is God;
In all the universe abroad
There is no other light
To guide the soul aright.

But love, from out the depths of hate
Lifts man up to a high estate.
Fits him for realms of bliss
Ere he departs from this;

And brings the blessed angels near,
With their rich gift of Love, to cheer
And guide us in the way
That leads to perfect day.

It brings sweet peace to all mankind
And doth all men and angels bind
To God with links of gold.
And so I firmly hold

That human souls can never need
A more complex or larger creed ;
For all below, above,
Are saved and kept by Love.

Frank Swee.
