The Almighty King, Not always in the splendid scene of pomp Tremendous, on the sounding tempest rides, Or sweeping whirlwind; nor in the awful peal Of echoing thunder is He always heard, Or seen in lightning’s livid flames; but oft, When every turbid element is hushed, In the still voice of nature stands confest The Lord Omnipotent.
