Of Him—the Architect of all ! And al ' . was formed in harmony , For glorious was the whole design ; The builder of a thousand worlds AVorked by unerring rules divine . AH shapeless things assumed a form
Of beauteous order , at HIS call , And " music of the spheres" burst forth To hail the Architect of All ! VOL . viu . s s
