Niagara Falls

Francis Duncan

Untitled

Roll on, Niagara, thou mighty cataract,
Magnificent memento of the power of God!
Thy changeless song of praise commenced with time,
And will continue to eternity.

On this, the morning that commemorates
The resurrection of the Son of God —
The hour when Christians meet to worship Him —
I hail thee with astonishment and awe.
