A HYMN.

My Maker! of Thy Power the trace
In every creature's form and face,
The wond'ring soul surveys!
Thy Wisdom, infinite above
Seraphic thought, a Father's Love
As infinite displays!

From all that meets or eye or ear,
There falls a genial holy fear;

Which, like the heavy dew of Morn,

Refreshes, while it bows the heart forlorn.

Great GOD! Thy Works how wondrous fair!
Yet sinful Man didst Thou declare

The whole Earth's voice and mind!
LORD! ev'n as Thou all-present art,
O, may we still, with heedful heart,
Thy presence know and find!

Then, come what will of weal or woe,
Joy's bosom-spring shall steady flow!

For, though 'tis Heaven Thyself to see;
Where but Thy Shadow falls, Grief cannot be!
