Above the Regions of Etherial Space,And far extended Frontier of the Skies,
Beyond the Outlines of wide Nature's Face;
Where Void not yet inclos'd uncultivated lies,
Jehovah! Thy Eternal Throne,
With unprecarious Brightness ever shone,
Rais'd by Skill and Energy Divine,
From Thy rich Unfathomable Mine,
Whose Womb contains, without Decay,
Exhaustless Veins of Light, and glitt'ring Seeds of Day.
A Throne, whose Radiance cannot fade,
Of uncreated Beams, and Gems immortal made.
Pillars of vast interminable Size,
Such none but Hands Omnipotent can rear,
Which to a Height insuperable rise,
This mighty Weight of Glory bear.
324
With blazing Heads of fine Celestial Gold;
Inwreath'd in Rays of Spiral Light,
Which Saints with dazled Eyes, and slanting View behold.
Here Thou, Great King, hast always sate,
Awful in blissful Robes of State.
Whence Trains, Divine Profusion, all below
Of long unmeasurable Glory flow;
Compleatly filling every Place,
And far outstretching all imaginary Space.
