God breathed into mans nostrils breath
Of life.
And man became at once a living soul:
His pathway led through earthly storm
and strife.
But far beyond the stars appeared his
goal.
And He who spake as never yet spake
man.
Who came TO make the soul Of man
more free:
He gave il truth and light and more
abundant life.

Life born on earth and holding earthly
Shall live forever in the azure sky.
For life is truth. and truth is Gods first
born
And nothing that God loves can ever
