TRUTH
Poem by Mary Baker Eddy
Melody by Michelle J. Gonzalez © 2013
Beyond the clouds, away
In the dim distance, lay
A bright and golden shower
At sunset’s radiant hour, —
Like to the soul’s glad immortality,
Making this life divine,
Making its waters wine,
Giving the glory that eye cannot see.
In God there is no night, —
Truth is eternal light,
A help forever near;
For sinless sense is here
In Truth, the Life, the Principle of man.
Away, then, mortal sense!
Then, error, get thee hence,
Thy discord ne’er in harmony began!
Immortal Truth, — since heaven rang,
The while the glad stars sang
To hail creation’s glorious morn —
As when this babe was born,
A painless heraldry of Soul, not sense, —
Shine on our ’wildered way,
Give God’s idea sway,
And sickness, sin, and death are banished hence.
