DESIGN
Theuniverse of rolling spheresIs not for Deity’s displayBut for a purpose which appearsIn its supernal harmony.Its mass that in momentum sweeps,Its energy of elements,The order which its system keepsAre aspects of omnipotence;And power working such designIs proof of Presence everywhereIntelligent, supreme, divine,Both in creatorship and care.For in His watchcare of the worldsHe-Over-All doth manifestA greater power than that which whirlsThem on their way at its behest,A greater purpose than to spanThe Heavens by His glory lit;For ’tis the more eternal planOf making all creation fitFor fellowship with Nature’s GodIn higher terms of wisdom, truthAnd love by perfect will endowed,Whereof the worlds are but the proof.Thou Supersoul, who Spirit artAnd rulest star-host, wave and wind,Teach us Thy majesty to heartAnd feel in music perfect Mind!
