“Naught is done in the earth without thee, O God—
Nor in the divine sphere of the heavens, nor in the deepest depths of the sea,
Save the works that evil men commit in their hours of folly.
“Yet thou knowest where to find place for superfluous things,
Thou dost order that which seems disorderly,
And things not dear to men are dear to Thee!
“Thou dost harmonise into One both Good and Evil,
For there is One Everlasting Reason for them all.
“O thou All-Giver, Dweller in the clouds, Lord of the thunder,
Save thou men from their own self-sought unhappiness,
