Horace I, 34
From Hoosier Lyrics (1905)
Arts & Sciences
I have not worshiped God, my King--
Folly has led my heart astray;
Backward I turn my course to learn
The wisdom of a wiser way.
How marvelous is God, the King!
How do His lightnings cleave the sky--
His thundering car spreads fear afar,
And even hell is quaked thereby!
Omnipotent is God, our King!
There is no thought He hath not read,
And many a crown His hand plucks down
To place it on a worthier head!
