Light, Life, Love

Light, Life, Love The voice of Omnipotence called into night, And back came the echo, "Let there be Light;" Then the sun and the moon and the starts lent their rays, And radiant Earth appeared in the blaze. Again called the Voice, and the elements rife Sent back the echo, "Let there be Life;" Then the air and the sea and the germ-waiting earth Teemed with the fruitage of primitive birth. A Voice low and tender went out from above, And sweet rolled the echo, "Let there be Love;" Then thought and emotion joyously sped To the altar where Justice and Mercy were wed. George H. Brimhall.
