God is Everywhere.
BY A. H. BAKER.

Shall we ascend to heavens dome,
To search for Gods eternal throne;
Where morning stars together sing,
And countless worlds their homage bring?
The highest heavens cannot contain
His glorious works-his awful name.
'Tis he who earth's foundations laid,
And DER it cloudy garments spread;
Who piled majestic mountains high,
And spanned the arch where eagles fly;
Who spread out beauteous wales below,
And guides the streamlets as they flow;
Made oceans doors and set its bound,
With bolts and bars to hedge it round;
"Thus far, no farther come he said,
'And here let thy proud waves be stayed.
The flowers, the grass, the shrub, the tree,
The purling stream, the deep blue sea,
The rock, the sand, the waving grain,
The clouds, the dew, the pattering rain,
The glittering FROST the feecy snow,
The crags that deck the mountains brow,
The lambs, the birds, the lowing kline,
All speak his love, his hand divine.
Go search the bowels of the earth,
Where golden treasures have their birth;
Go fathom oceans boundless deep;
Go where Sahara's simoons sweep
y o1;,,,b II;u,1,,o3s g,,o,,, c1,d hniob+
Or search the graves dark, silent night
And heights, and depths, and desert droar
All join the song Our God is here.
When lightnings dart their vivid flame
Across the heavcns-they write His name;
Anon the pealing thunders roll,
From East to West, from pole to pole;-
IT'S God who speaks. The heavens resoun
And earth is filed with awe profound
Creation trembles at his nod;
Bow down, Oh man, and worship God
He's in the earthquake. Nature shakes,
Earth from her inmost centre quakes,
The everlasting mountains rock,
And oceans tremble with the shock;
Volcanic fires with awful roar
Burst forth, overwhelming pour
Rivers of lava DER the land
In fiery tides; It's Gods command.
He's i'll the wind. When tempests sweep
With fury DER the mighty deep;
And watery mountains swella and rise,
In angry foam against the skies;
When fierce tornado's travel forth,
Or winters blast sweep DER the Moth,
Or gentle zephyrs fan the brow;
'Tis God who breathcs I'll Eternal NOW
Go trace the comets trackless round,
Go travel to the utmost bound
Ofspace; (f such thing there be
AS bounds to Gods nfinity,)
On, on, through endless ages run,
From star to star, from sun to sum-
With angels wings speed swift thy flight
His wondrous works still meet the sight
No blank is found in all the road,
Infinite space is full Of GOD.
By him sustained the planets run
Their annual journey round the sun;
Unnumbored worlds in glory shine;
And tell of majesty divine;
He loosod the bands of Orion,
He guides Arcturus with his sons,
Brings forth Mazzaroth in his turn,
And Pleiades to shine and burn,
And silver lamps to cheer and light
With diamond rays the sunless night,
While stars sing anthems to his praise
And sons food shout Joyful lays;
Each sun and star is but a gem,
Which studs has mighty diadem,
This God is ours,-our Father dear;
His helping hand is ever near,
To guide our steps-to guard our way,
And point to realms Of endless day;
His banner DER our souls is lone,
Celestial goodness from above,
OhDounded mercy, rlch, tree grace,
To all the seed of Adams race.
That God whose goodness, power and grac
Pervades all life, all time, oil space;
Who feeds young ravens when they try,
Will hear his humblest creatures sigh,
With confidence to him we pray,
To give us food from day to day,
To keep us from temptations snare,
And long in health our lives to spare;
And when our tolls and wanderings cease,
To guide us to the port Of Peace,
To join the song-'Worthy the lamb
The Lord our God--The great Linn
