Omnipresent Power.
Oh God thine omnipresent power
’Tis beautiful to trace,
As manifested in each flower,
Or through the realms of space.
All nature’s scenes, though in themselves
Most lovely, bright, and fair,
Are redolent with glorious life
When we behold Thee there!
The gentle breeze, or verdant mead;
The sunset clouds above;
The sparkling stream, the waving tree,
Then witness to thy love.
And e’en the grandeur of the storm,
Or dashing of the tide,
Their terrors lose when thou art known
Their fearful might to guide.
The starry worlds so clear and bright,
And numberless foretel,
There must be worlds of heavenly light
Where minds angelic dwell.
The pure in heart behold their God,
Oh make our spirits pure,
That both in earth and heaven we may
Behold Thee evermore.
