by Unknown

Yet know that not in presence nor in power,

Shines he less perfect here: ’tis man’s dim eye

That makes the obscurity.

Christopher Stuart.

Tell me, hast ever thought upon the Being

Whom we Almighty call? Hast ever sent

Thy prayerful thoughts unto His holy throne?

And felt His power, and trembled at the thought?

If not, I cannot call thee man! thou art

A stone, a clod, a dull insensate thing.
