God's Presence.

God is all-present to whate'er we do,
And as all-present, so all-filling too.

God's Presence

God's present everywhere, but most of all
Present by union hypostatical:
God, He is there, where's nothing else, schools say,
And nothing else is there where He's away.

God's evident, and may be said to be
Present with just men, to the verity;
But with the wicked if He doth comply,
'Tis, as St. Bernard saith, but seemingly.

The place that filleth all in all.

Not by His essence, but commerce of grace.

God is all fore-part; for, we never see
Any part backward in the Deity.
