  He sang of God, the mighty source Of all things, the stupendous force On which all strength depends: From Whose right arm, beneath Whose eyes, All period, power, and enterprise Commences, reigns, and ends. The world, the clustering spheres He made, The glorious light, the soothing shade, Dale, champaign, grove and hill: The multitudinous abyss, Where secrecy remains in bliss, And wisdom hides her skill. Tell them, I AM, Jehovah said To Moses: while Earth heard in dread, And, smitten to the heart, At once, above, beneath, around, All Nature, without voice or sound, Replied, 'O Lord, THOU ART.' C.
