Seek for the Light

There's a deep ocean of darkness But the Light flows over all; There's a deep ocean of darkness, But the Light flows over all. Seek for the Light in every being, Seek the Light within— There's a deep ocean of darkness, But the Light covers the darkness For the Light flows over all, Oceanic over all.

Let us mind what is eternal, That which gathers us to God; Let us mind what is eternal, That which gathers us to God. Then we can see that we are written In each other's heart— Let us mind what is eternal, Yield ourselves to the eternal, That which gathers us to God, Hearts together up to God.

Beat the swords all into plowshares Until Friendship fill the world; Beat the swords all into plowshares Until Friendship fill the world. Live in the peace that passes knowledge, That precludes all wars— Beat the swords all into plowshares, Tend the Seed after the plowshares, Until Friendship green the world, Green and bloom through all the world.

—Music of "Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet," by William H. Doane
