Pàgina 7 - O, THOU ETERNAL ONE ! whose presence bright All space doth occupy, all motion guide ; Unchanged through time's all-devastating flight ; Thou only God ! There is no God beside ! Being above all beings ! Mighty One Whom none can comprehend and none explore...
Pàgina 10 - The chain of being is complete in me ; In me is matter's last gradation lost, And the next step is spirit, — Deity ! I can command the lightning and am dust ! A monarch and a slave...
Pàgina 9 - A million torches lighted by thy hand Wander unwearied through the blue abyss : They own thy power, accomplish thy command. All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss, What shall we call them ? Piles of crystal light, A glorious company of golden streams, Lamps of celestial ether burning bright, Suns lighting systems with their joyous beams ? But thou to these art as the noon to night.
Pàgina 11 - O visions blest ! Though worthless our conceptions all of Thee, Yet shall Thy shadowed image fill our breast, And waft its homage to Thy Deity. God ! thus alone my lowly thoughts can soar ; Thus seek Thy presence — Being wise and good! Midst Thy vast works admire, obey, adore ; And when the tongue is eloquent no more, The soul shall speak in tears of gratitude.
Pàgina 8 - In Its sublime research, philosophy May measure out the ocean deep — may count The sands, or the sun's rays — but, God! for Thee There is no weight, nor measure; none can mount Up to Thy mysteries; reason's brightest spark, Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try To trace Thy counsels, infinite and dark; And thought is lost, ere thought can soar so high. Even like past moments in eternity.
Pàgina 9 - Yes! as a drop of water in the sea, All this magnificence in Thee is lost : — What are ten thousand worlds compared to Thee?
Pàgina 9 - But the effluence of thy light Divine ! Pervading worlds, hath reached my bosom too: Yes; in my spirit doth thy spirit shine, As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew. Nought!
Pàgina 8 - Thy chains the unmeasured universe surround, Upheld by thee, by thee inspired with breath ; Thou the beginning with the end hast bound, And beautifully mingled life and death. As sparks mount upward from the fiery blaze, So suns...
Pàgina 63 - Higher than angels' thoughts can be. How can I in those courts appear, Without a wedding garment on ? Conduct me, thou Life-giver, there, Conduct me to thy glorious throne ! And clothe me with thy robes of light, And lead me through sin's darksome night, My Saviour and my God.
Pàgina 7 - In its sublime research, philosophy May measure out the ocean deep, may count The sands or the sun's rays : but, God, for thee There is no weight nor measure ; none can mount Up to thy mysteries. Reason's brightest spark, Though kindled by thy light, in vain would try To trace thy counsels, infinite and dark ; And thought is lost ere thought can soar so high, Even like past moments in eternity.
