Strange! That What Is Enjoyed Without Pleasure

Yes, Thou Art Ever Present, Power Divine; Not Circumscribed By Time, Nor Fixed By Space, Confined To Altars, Nor To Temples Bound. In Wealth, In Want, In Freedom, Or In Chains, In Dungeons Or On Thrones, The Faithful Find Thee.

The Keen Spirit Seizes The Prompt Occasion, Makes The Thought Start Into Instant Action, And At Once Plans And Performs, Resolves And Executes!

Strange! That What Is Enjoyed Without Pleasure Cannot Be Discontinued Without Pain!

It Is An Excellent Sign, That After The Cares And Labors Of The Day, You Can Return To Your Pious Exercises And Meditations With Undiminished Attention.

A Corrupt Practice May Be Abolished, But A Soiled Imagination Is Not Easily Cleansed.
