Devoid of any sequence,

Or any plan portrayed.

These are of greatest moment

To persons and to State,

Upon their wise adjustment

Must hang progression's fate.

Cold are the truths of science,

Lifeless their every plan,

Until in living presence,

They're crystalized in man.

As hidden truths are useless

And aid not human skill,

So slumber mighty forces

Through lack of human will.

To know the right is not enough,

It must be given power

Through culture of the heart and soul,

If it shall blessings shower.

To State, to manhood and to God

Must mind be wholly given,
