NEW HARTFORD
God, though this life be but a wraith
Author: Louis Untermeyer (b. 1885) Hymnal: More Hymns and Spiritual Songs #10 (1971) First Line: God, though this life is but a wraith Lyrics: 1 God, though this life is but a wraith,
Although we know not what we use,
Although we grope with little faith,
Give me the heart to fight and lost.
2 Ever insurgent let me be,
Make me more daring than devout;
From sleek contentment keep me free,
And fill me with a buoyant doubt.
3 Open my eyes to visions girt
With beauty, and with wonder lit,
But let me always see the dirt
And all that spawn and die in it.
4 Open my ears to music; let
Me thrill with spring’s first flutes and drums,
But never let me dare forget
The bitter ballad of the slums.
5 From compromise and things half done,
Keep me, with stern and stubborn pride;
And when at last, the fight is won,
God, keep me still unsatisfied.
