Charles Ives - From Paracelsus" lyrics
[Charles Ives - From Paracelsus" lyrics]
For God is glorified in man
And to man's glory vowed I soul and limb
Yet, constituted thus, and thus endowed
I failed i gazed on power till I grew blind
What wonder if I saw no way to shun despair?
The power I sought seemed God's
I learned my own deep error
And what proportion love should hold
With power in man's right constitution
Always preceding power
And with much power, always
Always much more love
And to man's glory vowed I soul and limb
Yet, constituted thus, and thus endowed
I failed i gazed on power till I grew blind
What wonder if I saw no way to shun despair?
The power I sought seemed God's
I learned my own deep error
And what proportion love should hold
With power in man's right constitution
Always preceding power
And with much power, always
Always much more love
