Unto Thee I Grant
the Economy of Life
Whersoever the sun
doth shine, wheresoever the wind doth blow, wheresoever there is an ear to
hear, and a mind to conceive; there let the precepts of life be made known, let
the maxims of truth be honored and obeyed.
All things proceed
from God. His power is unbounded. His wisdom is for eternity, and His goodness
endureth for ever.
He sitteth on His
throne in the centre of the universe and the breath of His mouth giveth life to
the world.
He toucheth the
stars with His finger, and they run their course rejoicing.
On the wings of
the wind He walketh abroad, and performeth His will through all the regions of
unlimited space.
Order and grace,
and beauty spring from His hand.
The voice of
wisdom speaketh in all His works; but the mortal understanding comprehendeth it
not.
The shadow of
mortal knowledge passeth over the brain of man as a dream; he seeth as in the
dark; he reasoneth, and is deceived.
But the wisdom of
God is as the Light of Heaven; it requireth not reason; His mind is the
fountain of truth.
Justice and mercy
wait before His throne; benevolence and love enlighten His countenance for
ever.
Who is like unto
God in glory? Who in power shall content with the Almighty? Hath He any equal
in wisdom? Can any in goodness be compared unto Him? There is none other before
Him.
