319 A World Beyond

SCIENCE long watched the realms of space,

A planet’s devious path to trace:

Convinced of heaven’s harmonious law,

“A World beyond” Leverrier saw.

Thus when he views earth’s sins and woes,

With a like faith the Christian knows

There is a world beyond, to prove

God’s perfect wisdom, power, and love.
