I have been down in the darkest water	A
Deep deep down where no light could pierce	B
Alone with the things that are bent on slaughter	A
The mindless things that are cruel and fierce	B
I have fought with fear in my wave walled prison	C
And begged for the beautiful boon of death	D
But out of the billows my soul has risen	C
To glorify God with my latest breath	D
	-
	-
There is no potion I have not tasted	E
Of all the bitters in life's large store	F
And never a drop of the gall was wasted	E
That the lords of Karma saw fit to pour	F
Though I cried as my Elder Brother before me	G
'Father in heaven let pass this cup '	-
And the only response from the still skies o'er me	G
Was the brew held close for my lips to sup	H
	-
	-
Yet I have grown strong on the gall Elysian	C
And a courage has come that all things dares	I
And I have been given an inner vision	C
Of the wonderful world where my dear one fares	I
And I have had word from the great Hereafter	A
A marvellous message that throbs with truth	J
And mournful weeping has changed to laughter	A
And grief has changed into the joy of youth	J
	-
	-
Oh there was a time when I supped sweet potions	K
And lightly uttered profound belief	L
Before I went down in the swirling oceans	K
And fought with madness and doubt and grief	L
Now I am climbing the Hills of Knowledge	M
And I speak unfearing and say 'I know '	-
Though it be not to church or to book or college	N
But to God Himself that my debt I owe	O
	-
	-
For the ceaseless prayer of a soul is heeded	E
When the prayer asks only for light and faith	P
And the faith and the light and the knowledge needed	E
Shall gild with glory the path to death	D
Oh heart of the world by sorrow shaken	C
Hear ye the message I have to give	Q
The seal from the lips of the dead is taken	C
And they can say to you 'Lo we live '	-
