For the dark of silent gorges
Whence mighty cedars nod;
For the majesty of mountains,
We thank thee, 0 our God!
For the hidden scroll o'erwritten
With oiie dear name adored;
For the heavenly in the human;
The Spirit in the word;
For the tokens of thy presence
Within, above, abroad;
For thine own great gift of Being,
We thank thee, 0 our God!                          tAnon.1

They are beautiful,
But he is Beauty:
They are strong,
But he is Strength:
They are perfect,
But he is Perfection.                           [Barbauld.j
