“IS THERE A GOD?”

By T. Shelley Sutton

THERE is a God! On every flower Is stamped the Maker's face, But doubters are not given power His image there to trace.
Faith can, alone, gaze ’neath the veil That covers sea and land; Doubt dare not, lest the Truth assail With an o'erpowering hand.
There is a God! all nature cries, Beseeching us to look Into her golden, sunny eyes, And read the open book.
Upon the sea—within the air— His adumbrations are; Look where you will, His face is there Reflected like a star.
There is a God! Pause in thy doubt And study man and plants,— Behold the proofs that lie about,— Do these things come by chance?
Creation's voice,—the foaming sea, The gentle winds that blow, The birds that sing from every tree,— Sounds forth an endless, “No!”
