As it began to dawn.
Matt 28:1.

My opening eyes with rapture see

The dawn of thy returning day;

My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee,

While thus my early vows I pay.

2 I yield my heart to thee alone,

Nor would receive another guest:

Eternal King, erect thy throne,

And reign sole monarch in my breast.

3 O, bid this trifling world retire,
