Page 153 - In its sublime research, philosophy May measure out the Ocean deep — may count The sands, or the sun's rays — but God ! for Thee There is no weight nor measure ; none can mount Up to Thy mysteries ; Reason's brightest spark, Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try To trace Thy counsels, infinite and dark; And thought is lost, ere thought can soar so high, Even like past moments in eternity.
