THE OMNIPRESENT GOD.

God is where other beings may not be,—
Space bounds not Him, nor dread infinity!
Deeper than thought has ever dar'd to stray,
Higher than fancy wing'd her airy way,
Beyond the beaming of the furthest star,
Beyond the fiery comet's blazing car,
Beyond the glorious worlds, and suns unseen,
God is, and will be, and has ever been!
Where the tall iceberg lifts its rugged head,
And ocean slumbers in his Polar bed,
Where under softer climes creation glows,
And Paphas blushes with her banks of rose,
Where torrid suns the panting desert sear,
God is, and was, and ever will be Here!
