GOD.

How immeasurable! how unfathomable! How terrible! how sublime! The framer of worlds! the mighty sovereign of the universe!
His wonderful works are continually before us. In the heavens above, and the earth beneath, we see his majesty.
The towering mountain and deep valley; the barren desert and fertile plain; the sun's bright light and star's faint glimmer; the sweeping tempest and gentle zephyr; the foaming billows and dead calm; the cataract's awful roar and streamlet's quiet ripple; the lightning's frantic leap and thunder's dreadful crash, all speak forth the greatness of his power, and the sublimity of his character.
When we contemplate him, we are overwhelmed with awe and reverence.
Seated high on the throne of his glory, all creation sits at his feet and yields implicit obedience to the dictates of his will.
Ten thousand glorious messengers surround his throne, ready to perform his mandates.
He it is who worked out for man a plan of redemption from his lost estate. He is the great restorer of mankind—the renovator of earth. He is a Father to the righteous, a shield to the oppressed. He it is who setteth up potentates, and pulleth them down; establisheth kingdoms and uprooteth them. Eternal life he grants to those who seek it; but the wicked are destroyed from his presence forever.
Great Creator! mighty Ruler! Glory, honor, and majesty belong to him now and evermore. Amen.—Gospel Banner.
