Of spirits, toil’d in travel through this vale.

Nor of that pillow shall my soul despond;

For—Love almighty! Love almighty! (sing,

Exult, creation!) Love almighty, reigns!

That death of Death! that cordial of despair!

And loud Eternity’s triumphant song!

“Of whom, no more:—For, O thou Patron-God!

Thou God and mortal! thence more God to man! 2348

Man’s theme eternal! man’s eternal theme!

Thou canst not ’scape uninjured from our praise.
