ASCRIPTION

ROBERT DE BRUCE.

Praised be the God of love, of light divine!Be praised, thou Spirit of abundant lifeWhose noon is now, whose dawn was when the ChristOn earth the real in the ideal did blend!To Thee, whose light streams forth from realms of lightIn glorious joy, fulfilling hope, and withThe radiant force of Truth's all-healing powerDost flow into our lives, revealing eachLike Christ, Thy child, fair, upright, pure and free:To Thee be might, dominion, majesty!
