IF

If there were no bright stars to gleam,
No moon adorned with silv'ry sheen,
The rising sun,
no brilliant ray,
Or light to tell the night from day.
 
If there were no rare beauteous flowers With perfume sweet,
no shady bowers,
No trees or grasses clothed in green,
Or colours in the world be seen.
 
If there were no kind hearts today,
No smiles to cheer us on life's way,
Or helping hand to aid us on,
A friend we could depend upon.
 
If it were thus,
how drab 'twould be,
No impulse for humanity To reach up to the glorious heights,
And strive to win to heavenly light.
 
So thus it is,
by light and shade,
With colours glowing bright,
to fade,
Can man esteem within his mind God's glorious gift to humankind.
