God, a wise father, showeth not His reasons to His babes;
But willeth in secresy and goodness: for causes generate dispute:
Then we, His darkling children, watch that invariable purpose,
And invest the passive creature with its Maker's energy and skill:
Therefore, they of old time stopped short of God in idols,
Therefore, in these latter days, we heed not the Jehovah in His works.
Mystery is God's great name; He is the mystery of goodness:
Some other, from the hierarchs of heaven, usurped the mystery of sin.
God is the King, yea even of Himself; He crowned Himself with holiness;
The burning circlet of iniquity another found and wore.
