The pure in heart see all things full of God. They see him in the firmament of heaven, in the moon walking in brightness, in the sun when he rejoices like a giant to run his course (Psalm 19:5). They see him making the clouds his chariots, and walking on the wings of the wind (Psalm 104:3). They see him preparing rain for the earth (Psalm 147:8), and blessing its increase, giving grass for the cattle (Psalm 104:14) and green plants for the use of man. They see the Creator of all wisely governing all, and upholding all things by the word of his power (Hebrews 1:3). O Lord, our governor, how excellent is your name in all the world (Psalm 8:1).

The pure in heart see all things full of God. They see him in the firmament of heaven, in the moon walking in brightness, in the sun when he rejoiceth as a giant to run his course. They see him making the clouds his chariots, and walking upon the wings of the wind. They see him preparing rain for the earth, and blessing the increase of it; giving grass for the cattle, and green herb for the use of man. They see the Creator of all, wisely governing all, and upholding all things by the word of his power. O Lord, our governor! How excellent is thy name in all the world!
