By A Collection of Hymns

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

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

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

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

      5 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?

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

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