Where God is Found

[First posted in 2013.  This prayer is featured in the collection A Modern Treasury of Jewish Thoughts: An Inspiring Collection of Writings on Jewish Deed, Doctrine, and Destiny.  This is one of four books donated to our Sinaite 6000 library resources by Dr. “T”, collector of rare books which he buys from estate sales in the USA. The photograph is from the collections that get forwarded so much that nobody knows who started it all . . . whoever recognizes this as his or hers, kudos to you for a great photograph, we would like to give you credit!–Admin1.]

God, where shall I find Thee,
Whose glory fills the universe?
Behold I find Thee
Wherever the mind is free to follow its own bent,
Wherever the words come out from the depth of truth,
Wherever tireless striving stretches 
its arms toward perfection,
Wherever men struggle for freedom and right,
Wherever the scientist toils
to unbare the secrets of nature,
Wherever the poet strings pearls of beauty in lyric lines,

Wherever glorious deeds are done.
