292.  There Is A God

1
There is a God-all Nature speaks,
Thro’ earth, and air, and seas, and skies:
See! from the clouds his glory breaks,
When the first beams of morning rise.

2
The rising sun, serenely bright,
O’er the wide world’s extended frame
Inscribes, in characters of light,
His mighty Maker’s glorious name.

3
Ye curious minds, who roam abroad,
And trace creation’s wonders o’er,
Confess the footsteps of your God,
And bow before him, and adore.
