With glittering diamonds fraught--

Be, Lord, thy temple's outer veil,

What splendor at the shrine must dwell!

3The dazzling sun, at noon-day hour--

Forth from his flaming vase

Flinging o'er earth the golden shower

Till vale and mountain blaze--

But shows, O Lord, one beam of thine:

What, then, the day where thou dost shine?

4O how shall these dim eyes endure
