God takes me to distance and far
Across the wandering star.
He takes me to the moon
Every feel of the afternoon.
He ushers me to see through light,
Hundreds and hundreds of sight
To see yet through love
And the heart is lost, for it rove
At all costs in dark and bright,
In hardship, horror and fright
To see but his kingdom beautiful
To create feelings, deep and peaceful.
God guides all in joys and sorrow,
The light from his is borrowed
To light up the dark and the dismal
With the spark of the sublime soul.
