Poems (Follen)/We never part from Thee

by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen

WE NEVER PART FROM THEE.

God, who dwellest everywhere,
God, who makest all thy care,
God, who hearest every prayer,
 Thou who seest the heart,
Thou to whom we lift our eyes,—
Father, help our souls to rise,
And, beyond these narrow skies,
 See thee as thou art.

Let our anxious thoughts be still,
Holy trust adore thy will,
Holy love our bosoms fill;
 Let our songs ascend.
Dearest friends may parted be,
All our earthly treasures flee,
Yet we never part from thee,
 Our eternal Friend.
