Unity Of God Poem by John Bowring

Undivided Unity!
Thankfully and reverently,
Father, God! we raise to Thee
This memorial pile!
Smile upon Thy servants now,
Hear their prayer-accept their vow,-
Source of light and love, do Thou
On our worship smile.


Here may Truth her wings extend;
Here may zeal and knowledge blend;
Here may friend encourage friend,
In the onward road,
Which through gladness and through gloom,
Thorns that wound, and flowers that bloom,
Cradle, pilgrimage, and tomb,
Leads us all to God! Amen.
