The silver streams, the beasts of sundry kinds;

The bounding waves and fishes of the seas:

All these for teaching man the Lord did frame,

To do His will whose glory shines in flame.

King James I.

If man sleeps on, untaught by what he sees,

Can he prove infidel to what he feels?

Young.

Father of light and life! Thou good Supreme!

O teach me what is good! Teach me Thyself!
