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.

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,
