Epkesians i. 22. The fulness of Him that filleth all in all.
Psalm exxxix. 7, 8. Whither shall I go then from Thy Spirit?
If I go up into heaven, Thou art there; if I go down into hell,
Thou art there also.

Father, Thy glory we confess.
Accept the sacrifice of praise
By all Thy people given;
Thy presence to our faith appears,
Thy beatific presence cheers,
And fills both earth and heaven.

Supreme in majesty and power
Thee, Jesus, Thee Thy saints adore,
Jehovah's Fellow call,
Thy heavenly Person we esteem
The glorious plenitude of Him
That filleth all in all.

Spirit of uncreated Light,
How shall we 'scape Thy piercing sight,
Or whither shall we go?
The God of vengeance or of love,
Thy presence fills the realms abow.
And the abyss below.

Great omnipresent ( hie in Three,
Absorb'd in Thine immensity
Thy worshippers receive,
Beyond the bounds of time and space
Contemplating Thy blissful lace
Eternally to live.
