1. Thou art, O God, the life and light | |||
Of all this wondrous world we see; | |||
Its glow by day, its smile by night, | |||
Are but reflections caught from Thee. | |||
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine, | |||
And all things fair and bright are thine! | |||
2. When day, with farewell beam, delays | |||
Among the opening clouds of even, | |||
And we can almost think we gaze | |||
Through golden vistas into heaven — | |||
Those hues, that make the sun's decline | |||
So soft, so radiant, Lord! are thine.}} | |||

3. When night, with wings of starry gloom, | |||
O'ershadows all the earth and skies, | |||
Like some dark, beauteous bird, whose plume | |||
Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes — | |||
That sacred gloom, those fires divine, | |||
So grand, so countless, Lord! are thine. | |||
4. When youthful spring around us breathes, | |||
Thy spirit warms her fragrant sigh; | |||
And every flower the summer wreathes | |||
Is born beneath that kindling eye. | |||
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine, | |||
And all things fair and bright are thine.}} | |||
