OUTBOUND!
“For I have heard it said that \ outh, with face to the morning sunlight. full of eagerness, is like unto an outward bound ship with sails un furled.”
Outbound! And we thank Thee, God, For the sound Of the wind in the sails; For the sight Of a Gull in flight; For the spray on the rails; The prow in the green ; For the glint and sheen Of the sun on the way That we take to-day.
Oytbound! And we thank Thee, God, Tor the hound Unleashed, and the world-wide trail Of the utmost sea; For the spread and the free Wide sweep of the bulging sail; For the joy unfurled On the path of the world Dawn the beaten track To the sun and back.
Outbound! And we thank Thee, God, For the round Of things in an eager life For the joy we share With our Friends so rare; For the keen-edged strife; For blessed work That we dare not shirk ; For the big blue sky That is flinging bv. —“The Fpworth Herald.”
