Who is Great God? If we perish, then the dust
And mould of earth Is God; and as we
must
We act, devoid of either praise or blame.
Hopeless of future life because we came
Ourselves from nothing, being lifeless save In name.
If God is visionless then we are thrust
To utter death, and love itself Is lust.
Lust mingled with a sweet uncertain shame.
Who Is Great God!
I am above this world of bud and rust,
I, even I, myself! I am supreme
Above all I perceive. I am the same
Now as all time ago; I live; I dream;
And I, I know, far over all distrust.
Who Is Great God !
(E J Rupert Atkinson)
