But yet the Lord, that is on high, Is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, Or great sea-billows are." "And I couldna help thinking," he continued, "that the Angels o' Power, doing His will, wad be likely aye to tak' the sea road. It's freer o' men-folk, and its mair fu' o' the glory o' God." "I am glad you had such a grand night, David.
"But yet the Lord, that is on high, Is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, Or great sea-billows are." Soft and loud the singing swelled, and the short thanksgiving followed it. To bend his head and hold Karen's hand while the blessing fell on his ears was heaven on earth to Liot; such happiness he had never known before never even dreamed of.
It was like the desire of the stranded boat for the motion and dip of the blue sea-billows. He would have hoisted the sail of his thought, have left the world behind, steering out across the hissing, leaping seas, till he should see at last the shadowy summits, the green coves of some remote land, draw near across the azure sea-line.
It may be that the life which Christ seems to have suggested as the type of Christian life the life of constant prayer, simple and kindly relations, indifference to worldly conditions, absence of ambitions, fearlessness, sincerity may be the life in which we can best draw near to the larger spirit for Christ spoke as one who knew some prodigious secret, as one in whose soul the larger life leapt and plunged like fresh sea-billows; who was incapable of sin and even of temptation, because His soul had free and open contact with the all-pervading spirit, and to whom the human limitations were no barrier at all.

And then I quoted as solemnly as I was able a verse that I had often before fitted to the chorus of the breakers: But yet the Lord, that is on high, Is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, Or great sea-billows are. "Ay," said my kinsman, "at the hinder end, the Lord will triumph; I dinna misdoobt that. But here on earth, even silly men-folk daur Him to His face.
