Of all the glory that o'erflows that heaven.

A boundless sea of love—all hued like love,

Gleams round the throne of Triune God, which seems

To rise from out that placid depth, built of

Its water, crystallized to gold and pearl,

Wherein joy's beauteous light forever plays.

Over that sea rings set beyond vast rings

Of burning seraph, saint, and cherub, stand

With starry crowns; and, with unceasing songs,

Struck from their lyres that burn as morning suns,
