From whom thy being flow'd,
A portion of His boundless love
On that poor worm bestow'd.

To all His Creatures free:
And spreads o'er earth the grassy blade,O
For worms as well as thee.
Let them enjoy their little day,
Their lowly bliss received;
O do not lightly take away
The life thou canst not give!
