Lo here is God and there is God	A
Believe it not O Man	B
In such vain sort to this and that	C
The ancient heathen ran	B
Though old Religion shake her head	D
And say in bitter grief	E
The day behold at first foretold	F
Of atheist unbelief	E
Take better part with manly heart	G
Thine adult spirit can	B
Receive it not believe it not	H
Believe it not O Man	B
	-
As men at dead of night awaked	H
With cries 'The king is here '	-
Rush forth and greet whome'er they meet	H
Whoe'er shall first appear	I
And still repeat to all the street	H
''Tis he the king is here '	-
The long procession moveth on	J
Each nobler form they see	K
With changeful suit they still salute	H
And cry 'Tis he 'tis he '	-
	-
So even so when men were young	L
And earth and heaven were new	M
And His immediate presence He	K
From human hearts withdrew	M
The soul perplexed and daily vexed	H
With sensuous False and True	M
Amazed bereaved no less believed	H
And fain would see Him too	M
'He is ' the prophet tongues proclaimed	H
In joy and hasty fear	I
'He is ' aloud replied the crowd	H
Is here and here and here '	-
	-
'He is They are ' in distance seen	N
On yon Olympus high	E
In those Avernian woods abide	H
And walk this azure sky	E
'They are They are ' to every show	O
Its eyes the baby turned	H
And blazes sacrificial tall	P
On thousand altars burned	H
'They are They are ' On Sinai's top	Q
Far seen the lightnings shone	R
The thunder broke a trumpet spoke	S
And God said 'I am One '	-
	-
God spake it out 'I God am One '	-
The unheeding ages ran	B
And baby thoughts again again	T
Have dogged the growing man	B
And as of old from Sinai's top	Q
God said that God is One	U
By Science strict so speaks He now	V
To tell us There is None	U
Earth goes by chemic forces Heaven's	W
A Mecanique Celeste	H
And heart and mind of human kind	H
A watch work as the rest	H
	-
Is this a Voice as was the Voice	X
Whose speaking told abroad	H
When thunder pealed and mountain reeled	H
The ancient truth of God	H
Ah not the Voice 'tis but the cloud	H
The outer darkness dense	Y
Where image none nor e'er was seen	N
Similitude of sense	Y
'Tis but the cloudy darkness dense	Y
That wrapt the Mount around	H
While in amaze the people stays	Z
To hear the Coming Sound	H
	-
Is there no prophet soul the while	A2
To dare sublimely meek	B2
Within the shroud of blackest cloud	H
The Deity to seek	B2
'Midst atheistic systems dark	C2
And darker hearts' despair	D2
That soul has heard perchance His word	H
And on the dusky air	D2
His skirts as passed He by to see	K
Hath strained on their behalf	E
Who on the plain with dance amain	N
Adore the Golden Calf	E
	-
'Tis but the cloudy darkness dense	Y
Though blank the tale it tells	E2
No God no Truth yet He in sooth	F2
Is there within it dwells	E2
Within the sceptic darkness deep	G2
He dwells that none may see	K
Till idol forms and idol thoughts	H2
Have passed and ceased to be	K
No God no Truth ah though in sooth	F2
So stand the doctrine's half	E
On Egypt's track return not back	I2
Nor own the Golden Calf	E
	-
Take better part with manlier heart	H
Thine adult spirit can	N
No God no Truth receive it ne'er	D2
Believe it ne'er O Man	N
But turn not then to seek again	N
What first the ill began	N
No God it saith ah wait in faith	F2
God's self completing plan	N
Receive it not but leave it not	H
And wait it out O Man	N
	-
'The Man that went the cloud within	N
Is gone and vanished quite	H
He cometh not ' the people cries	J2
'Nor bringeth God to sight	H
Lo these thy gods that safety give	E
Adore and keep the feast '	-
Deluding and deluded cries	J2
The Prophet's brother Priest	H
And Israel all bows down to fall	P
Before the gilded beast	H
	-
Devout indeed that priestly creed	H
O Man reject as sin	N
The clouded hill attend thou still	K2
And him that went within	N
He yet shall bring some worthy thing	L2
For waiting souls to see	K
Some sacred word that he hath heard	H
Their light and life shall be	K
Some lofty part than which the heart	H
Adopt no nobler can	N
Thou shalt receive thou shalt believe	E
And thou shalt do O Man	N
