Translation of Boethius

Translation of Boethius <br>by Samuel Johnson <br> <br>O Thou whose pow'r o'er moving worlds presides, <br>whose voice created and whose wisdom guides: <br>on our dark world in purest brightness shine <br>and cheer the clouded mind with light Divine. <br> <br>'Tis Thine alone to calm the troubled breast <br>with silent confidence and holy rest. <br>From Thee, O Lord, we spring, to Thee we tend, <br>Thou First and Last! Beginning Thou, and End!
