How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26915]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What 's gone and what 's past help Should be past grief. -The Winter's Tale.
