[Father, see this living clod]

The Lord God formed man of the dust, &c. —ii. 7.

Father, see this living clod,
This spark of heavenly fire!
Lo, my soul, the breath of God,
Doth after God aspire:

4

Let it still to heaven ascend,
Till I my Principle rejoin,
Blended with my glorious End,
And lost in Love Divine.
