Heights and Depths

By Grace Agnes Timmerman

[Grace Agnes Timmerman, in “Christian Advocate”]

Far inland, where the hills are green and low, My lines are fallen, and I may not see Great ocean, or the peerless majesty Of snowy peaks uplifted. Yet I know Some measure of their vast sublimity, Light-crowned with glory, dominant in gloom, Forever on my soul the mountains loom; And in my heart, unfathomed, rolls the sea.

So may the quickened spirit apprehend Supernal beauty, truth beyond the bar Of mortal limitation — from afar May view the holy mount, or may ascend On wings of adoration to the height Of heaven's floor, discern the swelling sea Of love whose fount is God's infinity, And life that centers at the Throne of Light!
