THOU! whose all-providential eye surveys,
Whose hand directs, whose Spirit fills and warms
Creation, and holds empire far beyond!
Eternity's Inhabitant august;
Of two eternities amazing Lord!

One past, ere man's or angel's had begun:
Aid! while I rescue from the foe's assault
Thy glorious immortality in man:
A theme for ever, and for all, of weight,
Of moment infinite! but relish'd most
By those who love Thee most, who most adore.
