THE WAY

O Glorious God,Filling all the universe with love;O glorious Love,Giving us life and all things that we need;O Life eternal, waiting to be sharedBy every child, by every pilgrim, borneAnd guided through the power of Mind—This is Thy radiant dayAnd we are freed;This is the road decreed—By Thine own hand in ever-present morn,In ever-present dawning of the way.
