:(Rippon 1787) | |||
1. Ye worlds of light, that roll so near | |||
The Savior's throne of shining bliss, | |||
O tell how mean your glories are, | |||
How faint, and few, compared with his. | |||
2. We sing the bright and morning-star, | |||
{{ | Jesus, the spring of light and love; | ||
See how its rays diffused from far, | |||
Conduct us to the realms above. | |||
}} | |||
3. Its cheering beams, spread wide abroad, | |||
Point out the puzzled Christian's way; | |||
Still as he goes he finds the road | |||
Enlightened with a constant day. | |||
4. Thus when the eastern Magi brought | |||
Their royal gifts, a star appears, | |||
Directs them to the babe they sought, | |||
And guides their steps,and calms their fears. | |||
5. When shall we reach the heavenly place, | |||
Where this bright star will brightest shine; | |||
Leave far behind these scenes of night. | |||
And view a luster so divine.}} | |||
