1 Kings 8:22: Solomon stood before the altar, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Lo! the pious monarch stands.
And lifts his heart and eyes,
Spreads to heaven his praying hands.
To Him who fills the skies!
Never king appear'd so great!
Himself not half so glorious shone,
Clad in all his robes of state,
And on his ivory throne.
