God hath a presence, and that ye may see In the fold of the flower, the leaf of the tree, In the sun of the noon-day, the star of the night, In the storm-cloud of darkness, the rainbow of night, In the waves of the ocean, the furrows of land, In the mountain of granite, the atom of sand, Turn where ye may, from the sky to the sod, Where can ye gaze that ye see not God.
