Orpheus - The Hymns of Orpheus - III. To Heaven lyrics

GREAT Heav'n, whose mighty frame no respite knows, Father of all, from whom the world arose: Hear, bounteous parent, source and end of all, Forever whirling round this earthly ball; Abode of Gods, whose guardian pow'r surrounds Th' eternal World with ever during bounds; Whose ample bosom and encircling folds The dire necessity of nature holds. Ætherial, earthly, whose all-various frame Azure and full of forms, no power can tame. All-seeing Heav'n, progenitor of Time Forever blessed, deity sublime, Propitious on a novel mystic shine, And crown his wishes with a life divine.
