By Gabriel Romanovitch Derzhavin (Trans. Sir John Bowring)O Thou Eternal One!
O T
All space doth occupy, all motion guide:
Unchanged through time’s all-devastating flight;
Thou only God! There is no God beside!
Being above all beings! mighty One!
Whom none can comprehend and none explore;
Who fill’st existence with Thyself alone:
Embracing all, supporting, ruling o’er,—
Being whom we call God, and know no more!
