Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Ebenezer Elliott, Vol. 1 of 2
Oh, Thou that sway'st the boundless universe 1 King of illimitable empire hear My trembling voice of praise. I know Thou art But when my soul would raise her eyes to Thee, Vainly I try to grasp so vast a view For in thy half-reveal'd sublimity, Holding the reins of universal rule, Thou sitt'st invisible upon the throne Of universal nature, and behold'st A vast immensity, fill'd by Thyself. Spirit of spirits ere the eagle flew, Ere the worm crawl'd, ere sang the love-taught wren, Or man, erect, before Thee stood and smiled, Thou hadst existed an eternity Of thoughtful ages ere there lived one soul To worship thee, oh, God of Holiness Wrapt in incomprehensibility, Pleased with self-contemplation, Thou didst muse In silence on thine own eternal thoughts.
