Acquaint Thyself with God.

“Acquaint now Thyself with Him and be at Peace.”—Job. xxi, 22.
Acquaint thyself with God, If thou wouldst read aright, The book of nature, ever spread Before thee, day and night; If thou wouldst fully learn The wonders there displayed, Enshrine its Author in thy heart, And love what He hath made.
So shall the warbling grove, The surge with mountain swell, The Bannian on the Indian sands, The Lily in its dell— Yea, every winged seed That quickeneth 'neath the sod, Teach heavenly wisdom, if thy soul Acquaint itself with God.
There are who gather wealth From many a storied page, That tendeth but to wrinkling care, Nor warms the frost of age, Yet thou, with lowly mind, Intent on sacred lore Acquaint thyself with God, and be At peace forevermore.
