What lives and moves, lives by thy word;
It lives, and moves, and is, from thee!
Whate’er in earth, or sea, or sky,
Or shuns, or meets, the wandering thought,
Escapes, or strikes, the searching eye,
By thee was to existence brought.
2 High is thy power above all hight;
Whate’er thy will decrees is done:
Thy wisdom, holiness and might
Can by no finite mind be known.
