Traveler! blessedness and light,

Peace and truth its course portends!

Watchman! will its beams alone

Gild the spot that gave them birth?—

Traveler! ages are its own,

See, it bursts o'er all the earth.

Watchman! tell us of the night,

For the morning seems to dawn.—

Traveler! darkness takes its flight,

Doubt and terror are withdrawn.—
