by Unknown

To thee my ardent praises shall be borne

On the first breeze that wakes the blushing morn;

The latest star shall hear the pleasing sound,

And nature in full choir shall join around.

When full of Thee, my soul excursive flies

Through earth, air, ocean, or thy regal skies;

From world to world new wonders still I find,

And all the Godhead flashes on my mind,

When, winged with whirlwinds, vice shall take its flight

To the deep bosom of eternal night,
