The Higher Law.
Love and Obedience--these the Higher Law From which Thy worlds have swerved not, singing still Their primal hymn rejoicing, as at first The morning stars together. Hast thou heard, In vast and silent spaces of the sky, What time the bead-roll of the universe God calls in heaven, every tiniest star-- From myriad twinkling points--from plummet depths Of dark too vast for eye and sense to guess, Send up a little silver answer "I am here." Even so, the humblest of thy little ones, dear Lord, May through the darkness hear Thy still small voice, And answer with quick gladness "Here am I,-- I love Thee,--I obey Thee,--use me too!"
