Credo

HERBERT H. YEAMES

What is thy faith who sayest, "I believe
In God the Father," and yet livest not
As if God were, and were thy Father too?
On such a faith no shadow of fear could fall,
No burden of anxiety could weigh,
No petty passions press disquieting.
The love of God is like an atmosphere
Embracing all things, like a boundless sea
Upbuoying; and none who trusts himself,
Serene in His sustaining strength, can sink,
Feeling beneath the everlasting arms;
Feeling above the brooding wings of Love.
