121. 10s. M. Mme. Guion. God Incomprehensible. 1 Almighty Former of creation's plan, Faintly reflected in thine image, man; Holy and just, -- the greatness of whose name Rules and supports this universal frame: -- 2 Whose spirit fills the infinitude of space, -- Who art thyself thine own vast dwelling place; -- Soul of our soul, whom yet no sense of ours Discerns, eluding our most active powers: -- 3 Encircling shades attend thine awful throne, That veil thy face, and keep thee still unknown; Unknown, though dwelling in our inmost part, Lord of the thoughts, and Sovereign of the heart!
