by Unknown

Like those that faint in light aloft,

Flee far away and give us rest;

While every darksome grief shall be

Dispelled by glory shed from Thee.

Like happy bees, O! let us roam,

Extracting joy from all around,

And winging towards our heavenly home,

Rise up with pure devotion crowned;

And Thee, great King of Glory, meet,

As tuneful larks the sun would greet.
