1. Forth from the shores of self my spirit sails, My boat is launched upon an unknown sea, With faith for pilot--faith that never fails, The faith that sounds my soul's infinity! 2. As lesser sights are left behind, and fade In mists that shadow earth and earthly things, So upward leaps the light--I'm not afraid-- My soul is strong, my soul has found its wings! 3. Silent and still, I drift on waters clear, And drink with joy the cup of being's truth Close as my thought is God--he speaks: I hear,-- I know that life is one unending youth! 4. Boundless and spaceless life I now behold-- Nor age nor time can bar its shoreless sea. Wave upon wave its tide is still unrolled; I sail with faith through soul's infinity!
