IO 10. IO. 10.

HORATIO WILLIAM PARKER, 1863 —

I.

THOU whose power o'er moving worlds presides,
Whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides,

On darkling man in pure effulgence shine,

And cheer the clouded mind with light divine.

A MEN.

2.

'Tis thine alone to calm the pious breast
With silent confidence and holy rest:

From thee, great God, we spring, to thee we tend,
Path, Motive, Guide, Original, and End.

BOETHIUS, circa 475-525.
Tr. SAMUEL JOHNSON, 1709-1784.
