The Voice of God

By Oliver P. Wilson

GIVE ear, O Earth, amid thy strain, And rest awhile to-day, Come back and list the glad refrain, Return without delay, For 'bove thy bosom's motley host Rings out a clarion call: "Get ready now from coast to coast; Arouse thy people, all."
It is the voice that Bethle'm heard Proclaiming peace and song; Good will to men of earth, the word To turn and flee from wrong; Yea, mighty is that voice, and sweet, A tower of strength; but storm To all who would in sin retreat; To others no alarm.
Then list, O Earth, amid thy strain, And hear His voice, and see His day is near to come again, Once more thy joy to be, Return thy beauty as of old Among the worlds to win, Where all will join thee in his fold. Secure and free from sin.
