Fragment: Pater Omnipotens.

Topics: classic

Serene in his unconquerable might     Endued[,] the Almighty King, his steadfast throne     Encompassed unapproachably with power     And darkness and deep solitude an awe     Stood like a black cloud on some aery cliff     Embosoming its lightning - in his sight     Unnumbered glorious spirits trembling stood     Like slaves before their Lord - prostrate around     Heaven's multitudes hymned everlasting praise.
