Since Over Thy Footstool Here Below
Such Radiant Gems Are Strewn,
O, What Magnificence Must Glow,
Great God, About Thy Throne!
So Brilliant Here These Drops Of Light
There The Full Ocean Rolls, How Bright!
If Night’s Blue Curtain Of The Sky
With Thousand Stars Inwrought,
Hung Like A Royal Canopy
With Glittering Diamonds Fraught
Be, Lord, Thy Temple’s Outer Vail,
What Splendour At The Shrine Must Dwell!
The Dazzling Sun At Noonday Hour
Forth From His Flaming Vase
Flinging O’er Earth The Golden Shower
Till Vale And Mountain Blaze
But Shows, Lord, One Beam Of Thine;
What, Then, The Day Where Thou Dost Shine!
O, How Shall These Dim Eyes Endure
That Noon Of Living Rays!
Or How Our Spirits, So Impure,
Upon Thy Glory Gaze!
Anoint, Lord, Anoint Our Sight,
And Fit Us For That World Of Light.
