“ …The just Creator condescends to write,
In beams of inextinguishable light,

On all that blooms below, or shines above;
To catch the wandering notice of mankind,
And teach the world, if not perversely blind…..”
William Cowper (1731 – 1800) was born in Hertfordshire, England. His hymns and poems are well known all over the world.
