For in Him We Live and Move Being
We have being the ground
of whom this s. to be found
Not could have nbornw land
No han denied all food still could thrive sand
And if thousand miles from shore lived the Deep
The itself must have the land within o
And ourl living moving being is n air,
A child that does need breathe born anywhere
Without the
No bird could fly bird could bird could
And all wondrous creatures that in the waters
If they would live must find the air successful
g. We have our being also in the water of the globe
Which, like garment beautiful, planet doth enrobe
Our bodies threetpa water do and be
Without the land canthe in the
Without to grow and not a to bloom
And all this blythe and gladstone world silent the tomb
Andth we havoc being in the failing sum-
and begun;
By have food and cloths and all good things that
makes fruits milk flow
Without the wood COAL steam, water
springs, cleansing
s. What electricity may be we may not surely know
But that in we live and move easily may show;
We see it in the tightening it plays along the sky,
night it gives light with
Will and all our goods at fifty miles an hour
Besides, have our being in unver
Which holds the stars and planets their appointed
One kind of it called gravity keeps everything in place
homes bodies thus from flying space,
sleeps coal and oil and beneath the tumbled plains
T. We living too in ether through whic the planets
And which essential both to body and SOUL
And it alone enables light of suns and moons to
To 1t flows through everything light flows through the glass
what it is and yet we that it be,
Since else the could send light and how then should see?
g. Again we have being in the Universal Mind
That manifold Intelligence which find
and bird thing, In flower and
We call wisdom in the and instinct in the bee;
Against the varioas ills of earth for defense
Andw It's fully used day call it
We live and have our being too within who
And many of movements under its control,
It's Politics and its religion and its schools
customs fashions, foolish rules
Decide much can't suggestion OF plan
To make recognize the brotherhood of man.
TO- In universal perfect lovewe have being too,
We know by the certainty that if do
A single thing in accord with love- goodwill
The aturalr result o something i'll,
While words and actions shall loves perfectness express
The natural results of that, as certainly will bless
II. In omnipresen spirit too i've and
AS wells a of dew outweghs the largest star
AS say merely matter, of a day,
A mist appearing for time then vanishing
AS certainly grasses from out the earthly sod
We have immortal being in the fathefhood of God
l2 Once more midst sreng h and beauty unlimited revine
where endless gories shine,
In fellowship with whose wisdom, love and might
creating heavenly delight
Where, when love is perfected no fears can ever jar
Within Fathers heaven too live and move and are
49, Andso it's % light He, the light is in
Nc afraid of poverty, of sickness or of sin:
walking fellowship with all the good and true
joy with joy unspeakable fathers will to do
Living, moving, being, with hosts of faithful friends
Peace that always Satisfies in Life that never ends
a. How wonderful being fixed,
passing then is he these elements who mixed;
of capacities, of great creative powers,
mighty possibilities manifesty ours!
beyond all doubling, shall be suhced
