| In the early morningI worship him who is beyond all thought and speech,
 Yet by whose grace all speech is uttered
 I worship him of whom the Scriptures say
 That he shall not be limited by words
 I worship him whom ancient sages name
 The God of gods,
 Him the unborn,
 Him the perfect,
 Him the source of all
 In the early morning
 I bow to him who dwelleth beyond darkness,
 Who shineth as the sun:
 I worship him who is perfection,
 Him, entitled anciently the Wholly Good:
 In him,
 We, peering through this veil of darkness,
 Imagine that we see the universe brought forth,
 Even as, in darkness,
 Men think a rope a snake.
