HIS IMMENSITY . NOT heaven alone is thine abode , Maker and Lord of all ; For thou , the ever present God , Pervadest thro' the whole . The gentle zephyr speaks thy love ; Thunders and storms thy power : Thou shin'st in suns , and stars above ; And here in every flower . Not present more where man is plac'd , In groves and flowery meads : Than rocks and sea and barren waste , And where no footstep treads . Yet not to earth and those it own , Thou , Lord , can'st be confin'd ; Thro' thy creation equal known , Acknowledg'd , present , kind . Thro' all diffus'd , o'er all enthron'd , Immense is thine abode ; Beyond what countless worlds can bound , Thro' all th' existing God .
