God Alone The Fit Object Of Praise And Prayer Poem by John Bowring

For whom but Thee, to whom but Thee,
Shall praise be poured, shall prayers ascend?
Creation-space-eternity-
From Thee derived, on Thee depend.


Prime Cause uncaused, All-sight unseen!
Unknown, all-knowing-who but Thou
Is, must be, will be, and has been
Infinite-unapproached-as now?


Thy wisdom is an endless day,
That bathes a million worlds in light;
Thy goodness an eternal ray,
Unbounded in its bliss-led flight.


To whom but Thee-for whom but Thee,
Shall prayers ascend-shall praise be poured?
Thy glory fills immensity-
Being of Beings! God adored!
