Tune:	RICKER
Composer:	W. Frederick Wooden, 1953-

1 The world stands out on either side
no wider than the heart is wide;
above the world is stretched the sky
no higher than the soul is high.

2 The heart can push the sea and land
so far away on either hand;
the soul can split the sky in two
and let the face of God shine through.
