8 ページ - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair ; thyself how wondrous then! Unspeakable, who sitt'st above these heavens, ™ To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.
