| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | The Kingdom of God | | By Edward Bulwer Lytton |
| | | THERE is no unbelief; | |
| Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod | |
| And waits to see it push away the clod, | |
| He trusts in God. | |
| |
| Whoever says when clouds are in the sky, | 5 |
| “Be patient, heart; light breaketh by-and-by,” | |
| Trusts the Most High. | |
| |
| Whoever sees, ’neath winter’s field of snow, | |
| The silent harvest of the future grow, | |
| God’s power must know. | 10 |
| |
| Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, | |
| Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, | |
| Knows God will keep. | | | | |
