In this bright Fabrick which thy Hands have made,
Whilst th'Elements did in dark Chaos sleep,
Ere yet thy Spirit brooded o'er the Deep,
Or shining Angels took their Seats above,
Thy blessful Bosom Glory hatch'd and Love;
Thy sempeternal Love was fixt on Man,
Ere he a Being got, or Time began:
Th'eternal Counsel had decreed his Peace,
For thy Delight was with the unborn Race.
