'But ye have not his Word abiding in you.'

Have ye never heard His voice?
Have ye never seen His form?
Heard Him in the thunder's noise-
Seen Him in the lightning storm?
When He rides upon the cloud,
When He journeys with the sun,
Speaks among the billows loud-
Saw ye not the Almighty One?
When the earthquake tears the ground,
When the whirlwind shakes the air-
Marked ye not His presence round?
Tracked ye not His footsteps there?
Vainly would ye try to find
God below-or God above-
If the spirit of your mind
Be not tuned to peace and love.
Earth and heaven are filled with God,
Everywhere He deigns to dwell;
Humble hearts His own abode-
His beloved receptacle.
