OURS TO MAKE THEM THINE.

By Alfred Lord Tennyson

STRONG Son of God, immortal Love Whom we, that have not seen Thy face, By faith and faith alone embrace, Believing where we can not prove.
Thine are these orbs of light and shade; Thou madest life in man and brute; Thou madest death; and lo, Thy foot Is on the skull which Thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust, Thou madest man he knows not why; He thinks he was not made to die, And thou hast made him; Thou art just.
Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, Thou; Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours to make them Thine. —Tennyson.
