INFINITE Power, eternal Lord, How sovereign is thy hand! All nature rose to obey thy word, And moves at thy command.

With steady course the shining sun Keeps his appointed way; And all the hours obedient run The circle of the day.

But, ah! how wide my spirit flies, And wanders from her God! My soul forgets the heavenly prize, And treads the downward road.

The raging fire and stormy sea Perform thy awful will; And every beast and every tree Thy great design fulfil.

Shall creatures of a meaner frame Pay all their dues to thee? Creatures that never knew thy name, That ne'er were loved like me?

Great God! create my soul anew, Conform my heart to thine; Melt down my will, and let it flow, And take the mould divine.

Then shall my feet no more depart, Nor my affections rove; Devotion shall be all my heart, And all my passions, love.
