quote · Legacy record
Man at home, within himself, may find The Deity immense, and in that frame So fearfully, so wonderfully made, See and adore His providence and power. I see, and I adore! O God most bounteous! O Infinite of goodness and of glory! The knee that Thou hast shaped, shall bend to Thee; The tongue which Thou hast tuned, shall chant Thy praise. And Thine own image, the immortal soul, Shall consecrate herself to Thee, for ever!
