Within that awful volume lies
The mystery of mysteries!

Within that awful volume lies
The mystery of mysteries!
Happiest they of human race,
To whom God has granted grace
To read, to fear, to hope, to pray,
To lift the latch, and force the way:
And better had they ne'er been born,
Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.

He is most powerful who governs himself.
And let our barks across the pathless flood
Hold different courses.
And let our barks across the pathless flood
Hold different courses.
