Analysis of Thy Faith Shall Leap From The Highest Cliff
Thy faith shall leap from the highest cliff,
And soar to thestars above.
It shall not be afraid of the fall,
For it knows that it will be caught.
Thy faith shall be like a bird in flight,
Free to soar and to sing.
It shall not be bound by the earth,
For it knows that it belongs to the sky.
Thy faith shall be like a flame in the night,
Bright and shining and true.
It shall not be extinguished by the storm,
For it knows that it is eternal.
So let thy faith be strong and free,
And let it soar to the highest heights.
It shall not be afraid,
For it knows that it is loved.
