About This Book
pubOne.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. Are these the only works of Providence within us? What words suffice to praise or set them forth? Had we but understanding, should we ever cease hymning and blessing the Divine Power, both openly and in secret, and telling of His gracious gifts? Whether digging or ploughing or eating, should we not sing the hymn to God: -

The Hymn of Cleanthes
Chiefest glory of deathless Gods, Almighty for
ever,
Sovereign of Nature that rulest by law, what Name
shall we
give Thee? â
Blessed be Thou! for on Thee should call all things
that are
mortal.
For that we are Thine offspring; nay, all that in
myriad motion
Lives for its day on the earth bears one impressâ
Thy
likenessâ upon it.
Wherefore my song is of Thee, and I hymn thy power
for ever.
Lo, the vast orb of the Worlds, round the Earth
evermore as it
rolleth,
Feels Thee its Ruler and Guide, and owns Thy
lordship rejoicing.
Aye, for Thy conquering hands have a servant of
living fireâ
Sharp is the bolt! â where it falls, Nature shrinks
at the shock
and doth shudder.
Thus Thou directest the Word universal that pulses
through all
things,
Mingling its life with Lights that are great and
Lights that
are lesser,
E'en as beseemeth its birth, High King through ages
unending.
Nought is done that is done without Thee in the
earth or the waters
Or in the heights of heaven, save the deed of the
fool and the
sinner.
Thou canst make rough things smooth; at Thy voice,
lo, jarring
disorder
Moveth to music, and Love is born where hatred
abounded.
Thus hast Thou fitted alike things good and things
evil together,
That over all might reign one Reason, supreme and
eternal;
Though thereunto the hearts of the wicked be
hardened and
heedlessâ
Woe unto them! â for while ever their hands are
grasping at
good things,
Blind are their eyes, yea, stopped are their ears to
God's Law
universal,
Calling through wise disobedience to live the life
that is noble.
This they mark not, but heedless of right, turn each
to his
own way,
Here, a heart fired with ambition, in strife and
straining
unhallowed;
There, thrusting honour aside, fast set upon getting
and gaining;
Others again given over to lusts and dissolute
softness,
Working never God's Law, but that which wareth upon
it.
Nay, but, O Giver of all things good, whose home is
the dark cloud,
Thou that wields Heaven's bolt, save men from
their
ignorance grievous;
Scatter its night from their souls, and grant them
to come to
that Wisdom
Wherewithal, sistered with Justice, Thou rulest and
governest
all things;
That we, honoured by Thee, may requite Thee with
worship and
honour,
Evermore praising thy works, as is meet for men that
shall perish;
Seeing that none, be he mortal or God, hath
privilege nobler
Than without stint, without stay, to extol Thy Law
universal.
