O thou who in thy jprotecting kindness art angry and in anger de^ 

 lighteth in mercy / 



O ihou who without instruction knowest all things and sayest all things 

 without a voice ! 



0 thou who in the midst of all things changeable art by thy nature 

 unchangeable ! 



Wilt thou not vouchsafe to shew the shore to me who am sunk i7i the 

 everlasting ocean of thy praise ? 



The resplendent beings of heaven praise thee by their tongues of 

 light; 



The various birds praise thee by the tongue of joy ; the flowers of the 

 grove praise thee by the tongue of fragrance ; 



The waters praise thee by the tongue of transparency^ O thou who art 

 praised for ever ! 



Wilt thou not teach me, the ignorant and the dumb, to praise thee by 

 the tongue of love ?
