quote · Legacy record
The voice of the Lord on the ocean is known, The God of eternity thundereth abroad; The voice of the Lord from the depth of his throne Is terror and power;—all nature is awed. The voice of the Lord through the calm of the wood Awakens its echoes, strikes light through its caves; The Lord sitteth King on the turbulent flood, The winds are his servants, his servants the waves.
