Who sees beginning from the end: all now!
And knows completely each within its place—
For all shall come before You low to bow;
There is no time nor place nor storied tribe
Where You are not revered—Eternal Thou!
See Time and Place as Hist'ry's willing Scribe
To tell Your exploits, wonders, deeds and pow'r.
Each nation rises up as You prescribe;
Each action, thought—each fleeting, passing hour—
Redounds unto Your praise, O You Adored!
Your favor shines on us as Eden's bow'r
To point us, draw us, woo and bring us toward
Eternity's one Goal: the Sovereign Lord.
- D. Benning
