The universe sings to my soul,

And I join with my voice in the whole,

And God is the spirit of Law;

The Power of blessing and blight,

The Giver of morning and night,

Whose judgments are all without flaw.

Behold! I am given to see

That the darkness and sorrow that be,

Lie low and cling closely to earth;

But the light of God’s glory descends,
