Heart of God

O great heart of God,

Once vague and lost to me,

Why do I throb with your throb to-night,

In this land, eternity?

O little heart of God,

Sweet intruding stranger,

You are laughing in my human breast,

A Christ-child in a manger.

Heart, dear heart of God,

Beside you now I kneel,

Strong heart of faith. O heart not mine,

Where God has set His seal.

Wild thundering heart of God

Out of my doubt I come,

And my foolish feet with prophets’ feet,

March with the prophets’ drum.
