Scripture Similes

By Amos R. Wells

Of all things far, I love the best The distance from the east to west; For by that space, and all within, God’s mercy parts me from my sin.
And best I love, of all things high, The space between the earth and sky; For by that height beyond all ken God’s love exceeds the love of men.
I love, of deep things undefiled, A father’s pity for his child; For by that depth, so far, so clear, God pities all that faint and fear.
O Father! Father! endless kind, I thank thee for my human mind; But chief of all my praise shall be That mind can not encompass thee! — Amos R. Wells.
