Rhyme Scheme: ABCD BEFD GHHI HHHD HBJK DLMN HDDO HHHD HDPD HDHL DQHR DDHS SHLD HSHD DFDH DHSH HHTD| Dear people swelled in fool's wisdom | A |
| And clinging to error so fanciful | B |
| To the skies adorned in hosts of fair stars | C |
| Look up and make bright your dimlit minds | D |
| - | |
| Know ye that 'tis a wise Lord an eternal | B |
| Lord there with palace midst fiery vault | E |
| Whereon airy voids He's fastened high | F |
| And great waters freed of earth's pondrance | D |
| - | |
| Day at times fixed to night's shadow ceding | G |
| Night at times fixed ceding unto the day | H |
| Thus do testify with course so concordant | H |
| That 'twas no mere chance earth came to be | I |
| - | |
| The sky's mechanics fashioned in accord | H |
| Proclaim 'tis God's wisdom His endless might | H |
| That ever sways them and o'er a vast | H |
| Earth is this voice heard on all ears | D |
| - | |
| For in no haunt of the habited world | H |
| Be there people so basely simple | B |
| They'd mark not that a faultless law | J |
| Sways the heavens for no time doth it err | K |
| - | |
| Who when a cloud veils not the heavens | D |
| Looks unamazed on the stars' bright lustre | L |
| Or when the sun doth his eyes assail with | M |
| Light whilst reeling in its flaming arc | N |
| - | |
| Rising forth from his bridesbed | H |
| Groom like adorned in raiments | D |
| Of pure gold a crown of priceless | D |
| Gems glowing radiant o'er his brow | O |
| - | |
| From a full course not leastwise spent | H |
| Forceful he plunges Well he's likened | H |
| In his shape strength and speed | H |
| To the behemoth of a hundred limbs | D |
| - | |
| Soaring from the east to where dark night | H |
| Ascends light he adds to the stars | D |
| And whatsoever be on a low earth | P |
| He begets and nurtures by his flames | D |
| - | |
| But order in the lofty firmament | H |
| Draws a viewers' thoughts less so | D |
| Than doth Thine own law Lord to propriety | H |
| Turn the senses and lay waste desire | L |
| - | |
| No change do Thy promises know | D |
| And with truth's glow our hearts they affirm | Q |
| Thou so dost punish should one offend | H |
| That in him Thy sacred suffering works gain | R |
| - | |
| Thy commandment delights our eyes | D |
| With grateful bliss O Lord and forms | D |
| Thy true glory which age injures not | H |
| Whilst with steely tooth it crumbles all | S |
| - | |
| In Thine Edicts guarding them heedfully | S |
| Truth and piety all times abide | H |
| Sweeter they are than honey greater | L |
| Yet than gilded metal and rare jewels | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis why in his heart Lord Thy servant | H |
| Shall ne'er cease minding them duly | S |
| Knowing the reward Thou hast readied | H |
| For each who would keep them always | D |
| - | |
| Yet who is it marks all his failings | D |
| O God forever cleanse me Thyself | F |
| Do away with my sundry misdeeds | D |
| Whence unknowingly I am sullied | H |
| - | |
| And grant pride's force hideous | D |
| To Thee would enter not in my heart | H |
| So wouldst Thou forever with no travail | S |
| Cast off the fetters of my great impiety | H |
| - | |
| Words from my mouth this meek thought | H |
| From an abased heart deign accept | H |
| Lord I beg Thee For Thou art salvation | T |
| My God my Hope my Sustinance | D |
