<p>Brood o&#8217;er us with Thy sheltering wing,<br>
&#8217;Neath which our spirits blend<br>
Like brother birds, that soar and sing,<br>
And on the same branch bend.<br>
The arrow that doth wound the dove<br>
Darts not from those who watch and love.</p>
<p>If thou the bending reed would break<br>
By thought or word unkind,<br>
Pray that His Spirit you partake,<br>
Who loved and healed mankind:<br>
Seek holy thoughts and heavenly strain,<br>
That make men one in love remain.</p>
<p>Learn, too, that wisdom&#8217;s rod is given<br>
For faith to kiss, and know;<br>
That greetings glorious from high heaven,<br>
Whence joys supernal flow,<br>
Come from that Love, divinely near,<br>
Which chastens pride and earthborn fear.</p>
<p>Through God, Who gave that word of might<br>
Which swelled creation&#8217;s lay:<br>
&quot;Let there be light, and there was light.&quot;<br>
What chased the clouds away?<br>
&#8217;Twas Love whose finger traced aloud<br>
A bow of promise on the cloud.</p>
<p>Thou to Whose power our hope we give,<br>
Free us from human strife.<br>
Fed by Thy love divine we live,<br>
For Love alone is life;<br>
And life most sweet, as heart to heart<br>
Speaks kindly when we meet and part.</p>
