Can worship,—imaged only in I AM!

But Thou—apparell'd in a robe of true

Mortality; meek sharer of our low

Estate, in all except compliant sin;

To Thee a comprehending worship pays

Perennial sacrifice of life and soul,

By love enkindled;—Thou hast lived and breathed;

Our wants and woes partaken—all that charms

Or sanctifies, to Thine unspotted truth

May plead for sanction—virtue but reflects
