Original lyrics
ENHow great a being, which doth all beings keep
Thy knowledge the only line to sound so vast a deep
Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere
Thy time is now and evermore, Thy place is everywhere
How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir
Enlighten with faith my heart, inflame it with love's fire
then shall I bear a part with that celestial choir
