Poet Analysis

First Line: THY SOUL, O GOD, DOTH PRIZE
Last Line: THAN AS TO US, FROM THEE AT FIRST THEY CAME.

Thy soul, O God, doth prize
The seas, the earth, our souls, the skies,
As we return the same to Thee;
They more delight Thine eyes,
And sweeter be,
As unto Thee we offer up the same,
Than as to us, from Thee at first they came.
