Yet our weak praise he deigns to hear.

3 The planets roll their orbits round;

Unnumbered worlds, in space profound,

Are ruled by him, by him controlled;

Yet he’s the Shepherd of our fold.

4 Exalted high upon his throne,

The universe is all his own:

Untold the honors he doth wear;

Yet we are objects of his care.

B. Skene.
