By many names the one true God is known; By many shrines man’s faith in Him is shown;— Varuna, Vishnu, Agni, Indra,—One! As stars confess the all-sustaining sun. By many paths true, humble hearts are brought At last to Him whom they in darkness sought. All lands alike the Father’s mercies share; No age was ever orphaned of His care;— For souls sincere, forever has sufficed The boundless merit of the blessed Christ; And over all forever shall extend The love that knows no measure and no end.
