- 1We lift our hearts to thee,
- O Day-star from on high!
- The sun itself is but thy shade,
- Yet cheers both earth and sky.
- 2O let thy rising beams
- The night of sin disperse,
- The mists of error and of vice
- Which shade the universe.
- 3How beauteous nature now!
- How dark and sad before!
- With joy we view the pleasing change,
- And nature's God adore.
