SACRED LYRIC. 



BY JAMES EDMESTO.N, LONDON. 



Where can 1 go from 7'Aee.' 



All presein Deily ! 

 Nature, and Time, and Thought, thine impress bear 



Tlirough earth, or sea. or sky, 



Though farafar!— Ifly, 

 I turn, and lind Thee present with me there. 



The perfume of the rose, 



And everv flower that blows, 

 All mark thv love," in clusters of the vale , 



The corn that crowns the fields, 



The fruits that garden yields. 

 Proclaim the bouuties that cau never fit!. 



The vapour and the cloud. 

 The thunder bursting loud, 

 Speak of Thy majesty iii words of flame . 

 The ocean as it roars. 

 Lashing the rocks and shores. 

 Declares from what a mighty hand it came. 

 The vasly globes that roll. 

 Each on its own firm pole, 

 Through all the boundless fields of space alone. 

 Prove that indeed Thou art, 

 The life-wheel an<i the heart, 

 Of systems to our little world unknown. 



From Thee I'caimot fly ; 



Thine all observing eye, 

 Marks the minutest atom of thy reign : 



How far so'cr I go, 



Thou all my path wouldsl know, 

 .\iid bring the wanderer to this eaith again. 



But why should I depart ? 



'Tis safely where Thou art ; 

 And could one spot thy being hold, 



I, poor, and vain, and weak, 



'I'hat sacred spot would seek, 

 \iid dwell within Die shelter ol thy fold !
