the task

Nature is but a name for an effect,
Whose cause is God. He feeds the secret fire
By which the mighty process is maintain’d...
[All things] are under one. One spirit—His
Who wore the platted thorns with bleeding brows—
Rules universal nature.


From ‘The Task’
By William Cowper (1731–1800)

As quoted in Doctrine and Covenants Commentary by Hyrum M. Smith and Janne M. Sjodahl. Deseret Book. 1965. p.156
