2. By Hirn are all fonns created, By Him infused with life and blessed, By Him are some to excellence elated, Others born lowly and depressed. By His writ some have pleasure, others pain; By His grace some are saved, Others doomed to die, relive, and die again.

How worship Him who appearelh far Yet is ever present and proximate? There is no end to His description, Though the speakers and their speeches be legion. He the Giver ever giveth, We who receive grow weary,
