[God looks on nature with a glorious eye]

God looks on nature with a glorious eye
& blesses all creation with the sun
Its drapery of green & brown earth ocean lie
In morning as Creation just begun
That safforn east fortells the riseing sun
& who can look upon that majesty
Of light brightness & splendour nor feel won
With love of him whose bright all seeing eye
Feeds the days light with Immortallity
