The Mosaic History of the Creation of the World / Illustrated by Discoveries and Experiments Derived from the Present Enlightened State of Science; With Reflections, Intended to Promote Vital and Practical Religion

by Thomas Wood

Hallow our food, reverse our doom,

And bid us eat, and live.

Turn the full stream of nature’s tide:

Let all our actions tend

To thee their source; thy love the guide,

Thy glory be the end.

Earth then a scale to heaven shall be,

Sense shall point out the road;

The creatures all shall lead to thee,

And all we taste be God.”
