AMPHORA XI I EHOLD the creatures Thou hast made, O LORD, how frail we are and fickle, Ephemeral as the tender blade That falls before the eternal sickle ! CHORUS : No shadow of turning in the LORD ! His purpose shall not change nor vary, Splendid and stedfast as a sword Live in the lambent heart of Mary. II Behold us, how we strive to good And evil catches us and sways us, How from child-life and maidenhood Time creeps and springs on us and slays us ! III But all our feebleness in Thee Is firm, in Thee our ways are steady. Equal for bliss or agony Thou callest us—and we are ready. B 77
