3 Shall we to Heaven mount aloft? Lo, thou art present there! Or if we should go down to Hell, Even there thou dost appear!
3 Shall we to Heaven mount alost? Lo, thou art present there! Or if we should go down to Hell, Ev'n there thou dost appear!
4 Yea, should we take us Morning wings, And dwell beyond the Sea, There would thy right-hand have fast hold, And with us quickly be:
5 Nay, if we say the darkness shall Yet shroud us from thy sight, Alas! the thickest darkness is To thee like to the light:
Yea, darkness hideth not from thee, But night doth shine as day; To thee the darkness and the night Are both alike alway.
