One cannot live by man alone
His soul does shrink and die
For want of spiritual food,
And blessings of Him on high.
The inner man, though God endowed
Oh wretched soul he be
Who dims the God-like light, for lo-
A self alone is he.
God's voice is gentle, but most firm
Man rebuked is sad to see,
Time is not man's, but God's alone
For now and all eternity.
