Whose mind can grasp Thy world's design?

Whose word can fitly Thee define?

Whose tongue set forth Thy powers divine?

Can heart approach, can eye behold

Thee in Thy righteousness untold?

Whom didst Thou to Thy counsel call,

When there was none to speak withal

Since Thou wast first and Lord of all?

Thy world eternal witness bears

That none its Maker's glory shares.
