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...
