    Well to get a better idea contrast with Burns' usage elsewhere:

    Ye Powr's wha mak mankind your care
    And dish them out their bill o fare

    (Address to a Haggis)

    These lines are going to be said rather a lot in the next few days!

    "Power" disnae necessarily mean "God" as modern theists mean "God"...

    cuid bae oiny Power...

    cuid bae Nature, Science, invention, industry...

    oiny "Power" that cuid gie us the gift tae see oursel as other see us....
