THE THOUGHTS OF GOD.

By Bonar

God's thoughts, not man's— Be these thy heritage; They, like himself, are ever young— Untouched by time and age.
God's words, not man's— Be these thy gems and gold; Be these thy never-setting stars— Still radiant, as of old.
Great truths are great Not once, but evermore! Theirs is an everlasting youth— A spring-bloom never o'er.
The stars that shine To-night in these calm skies, Are the same stars that shone of old, In primal Paradise.
The sun that once At a man's voice stood still, Is the same sun that nightly sets Beyond yon western hill.
Man and his earth Are changing day by day;— Truth cannot change—less ever grow Feeble, and old, and gray. [Bonar.
