I feel compelled to sing of God and worship
Him; as a stranger in a strange land I cannot
be silent. He recognizes no elder or younger; no
power second to Himself. From the very beginning
He needed no relative or mother. As chance presented
itself he forsook them all, but through the impulse
of love He set on foot a plan for uniting
others with Himself. The Supreme Soul was
corrupted by becoming an individual soul; he was
melted and poured into several moulds. In His
desire for ornaments He turned Himself into baser
metal—how could his properties be distinguished?
Now while the metal is still molten, better it were
to make the whole a glittering mass. We cannot
discern its true nature without hammering it;
Tuka is impatient to do so; I will disclose what
was in my mind. Inspire me with a keen desire
to begin; then I will sing thy praise.
