"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." --Luke xxi. 33. Could words like these have ever sprung
From less than heart divine;
From less than Him whose hand hath hung
The stars in heaven that shine? They sound omnipotent in strength,
Beyond what man can know.
They speak a power that will at length
Both heaven and earth o'erthrow. They have with all a warning tone
It were awful to offend,
That all our ways to God are known,
And all on him depend.
