<h2><SPAN name="poem11"></SPAN>SONG OF THE SPIRIT</h2>
<p class="poetry">All the aim of life is just<br/>
Getting back to God.<br/>
Spirit casting off its dust,<br/>
Getting back to God.<br/>
Every grief we have to bear<br/>
Disappointment, cross, despair<br/>
Each is but another stair<br/>
Climbing back to God.</p>
<p class="poetry">Step by step and mile by mile—<br/>
Getting back to God;<br/>
Nothing else is worth the while—<br/>
Getting back to God.<br/>
Light and shadow fill each day<br/>
Joys and sorrows pass away,<br/>
Smile at all, and smiling, say,<br/>
Getting back to God.</p>
<p class="poetry">Do not wear a mournful face<br/>
Getting back to God;<br/>
Scatter sunshine on the place<br/>
Going back to God;<br/>
Take what pleasure you can find,<br/>
But where’er your paths may wind.<br/>
Keep the purpose well in mind,—<br/>
Getting back to God.</p>
