Flower of All Eternity


There is no rapture earth can give

Surpassing memory of Thee,

To kneel before Thee one could live

In oceans of infinity.


There is no light that does not pale

Before Thy timeless golden form

No sea on which we could not sail

Secure in tidal wave or storm.


The helmsman He who steers our course

The star who ever guides us, Thee,

The rain of Grace that on us pours

Thy splendour and Thy majesty.


The beacon of our godward climb

The answer to our soul's desire

O MotherForce beyond all time

Lift us higher, ever higher


Until we reach Thy lotus feet

And in the roses of Thy hands

Invincible and heavensweet

An offering without demands,


Our lives in Thy omniscient care

Surrender to live alone in Thee,

Transcendent goddess bright and fair

Flower of all eternity.
