The Bible - Alice Sedgwick

What taught me the first great cause
Who existed ere creation rose
And gave us our universal laws
        The Bible

What guide can lead me to this power
Whom conscience calls me to adore
And bids me seek him more and more
        The Bible

When all my actions prosper well
And higher hopes my wishes swell
What points where truer blessings dwell
        The Bible
