Excerpt from The Great Atonement Illustrated: A Poem; Containing a Plea of All the Subsidiary Attributes of Deity, Before the Grand Council in Heaven the Seven Spirits of God the Seal of the Eternal Covenant
Invocation.
Great God! Supreme, Eternal, Wise,
Who decks the starry, azure skies,
The mountains rear in awe sublime,
Who rolls the wheels of transient time;
Who bounds the ocean and the sea:
Who measures vast eternity!
Far back, Thy power, what creature knew,
And onward - O eternal view
Of God - disclosing might and power,
Through time"s short effervescent hour;
Then on - how wildly reels my brain,
As here I trace the wondrous chain
Of cause. Uprising toward Thy throne,
Where Thou, O God! art God alone!
Who can by searching find out Thee?
Or mark the cycles, Thou canst see!
