THE OMNIPRESENT.


"God is an infinite being: he is present everywhere."


In every blade of grass that grows,
In every beauteous flower that blows,
   Our God is seen;
His voice is in each gentle breeze,
His smile on all the blooming trees
   That deck the green.

His. breath is in each perfumed flower,
His kindness in each gentle shower
   That falls on earth;
To every sound that cheers the grove
With harmony and peace and love,
   His hand gives birth.

On every thing, in every place,
The image of our God we trace,
   His goodness prove:
Then let each wondrous work be praised,
And gratefully each heart be raised
   To heaven above.
