God of the Open Air.

Thou who hast made thy dwelling
fair
With flowers beneath, above with
starry lights, /
And set thine affairs everywhere
On mountain heights,
In woodlands dim with many
dream,
In vplleys bright with springs,
And on the curving capes OF every
stream;
Thou who hast taken to myself the
wings
OF morning to abide
Upon the secret places of the sea,
And on far islands where the tide
Visits the beauty and untrodden
shores,
Waiting for worshippers to come to
thee
In thy great out-of-doors!
To thee l turn, to thee I make my
prayer,
God of the open air.
Seeking for thee the heart of man
Lonely and longing ran,
In that first solitary hour,
When the mysterious power
To know and love the wonder Of
the morn
Was breathed within him and his
soul was born;
And thou dfdst meet thy child,
Not in some hidden shrine,
But in the freedom Of the garden
wild,
And take his hand in thine
There all day long in paradise he
walked,
And in the cool of evening with thee
talked.
Lost, long ago, that garden bright
and pure,
Lost that calm day too perfect to en-
dure,
And lost, the childlike love that wor
shipped and was surei
For men have dulled their eye
with sin,
And dimmed the light of Heaven will
doubt,
And built their temple walls t.
shut thee in,
And framed their iron creeds to shu
thee out.
But not for thee the closing of tn
door,
o spirit unconfinedI
Thy ways are free
AS is the wandering wind.
And thou hast wooed thy children, t
restore
Their fellowship with thee,
In peace of soul and simpleness @
