By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Romans i.20.
      1 THERE is a book who runs may read,
      Which heavenly truth imparts;
      And all the lore its scholars need,
      Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

      2 The works of God, above, below,
      Within us, and around,
      Are pages in that book, to show
      How God himself is found.

      3 Two worlds are ours; 'tis only sin
      Forbids us to descry
      The mystic heaven and earth within,
      Plain as the sea and sky.

      4 Thou who hast given me eyes to see
      And love this sight so fair,
      Give me a heart to find out thee,
      And read thee everywhere.
