Classic Poem

Alpha and Omega, God alone:
Eloi, My God, the Holy-One;
Whose power is Omnipotence:
Whose Wisedome is Omni-science:
Whose Beeing is All Soveraigne Blisse:
Whose Worke Perfection's Fulnesse is:
Under All things, not under-cast;
Over All things, not over-plac't:
Within All things, not there included;
Without All things, not thence excluded:
Above All, over All things raigning;
Beneath All, All things aye sustayning:
Without All, All conteyning sole:
Within All, filling-full the Whole:
Within All, no where comprehended;
Without All, no where more extended;
Under, by nothing over-topped:
Over, by nothing under-propped:

Unmov'd, Thou movs't the World about;
Unplac't, Within it, or Without:
Unchanged, time-lesse, Time Thou changest:
Th'unstable, Thou, still stable, rangest;
No outward Force, nor inward Fate,
Can Thy drad Essence alterate:
To-day, To-morrow, yester-day
With Thee, are One, and instant aye;
Aye undivided, ended never:
To-day, with Thee, indures for-ever.
Thou, Father, mad'st this mighty Ball:
Of nothing thou created'st All,
After th' Idea of thy Minde,
Conferring Forme to every kinde.

Thou wert, Thou art, Thou wilt be ever:
And Thine Elect , rejectest never.
