23. L. M. The Voice of Nature. 1 ALMIGHTY goodness, pow'r divine, 2 For man and beast, here daily food, And there, for drink, the crystal flood, 3 By cooling streams and soft'ning show'rs The vegetable race are fed; And trees and plants, and herbs and flow'rs, Their Maker's bounty smiling spread. 4 The flow'ry tribes, all blooming rise Above the faint attempts of art; Their bright inimitable dyes Speak sweet conviction to the heart. 5 Ye curious winds, that roam abroad, 24.

God, Thou wast, and art, and art to come, 2 Fix'd and eternal as thy days, 3 Fountain of being! source of good! 5 Yon shining orbs forget their course, Amid the worlds his devious track. 6 Earth may with all her pow'rs dissolve, I AM, is thy memorial still. 25.
