Religion

Fountain of life to all that live.
Thyself, the' essential Life L)ivine,
Thou didst to our first parents give.
And in their sinless nature shine:
The Life was Light and happiness,
And wisdom pure with Thee bestow'd:
In all Thy works they saw Thy face,
While all Thy works were fiU'd with God.
