We lift our hearts to thee
1
We lift our hearts to thee,O Day-star from on high!The sun itself is but thy shade,Yet cheers both earth and sky.
2
O let thy rising beamsThe night of sin disperse,—The mists of error and of viceWhich shade the universe.

How beauteous nature now!How dark and sad before!With joy we view the pleasing change,And nature's God adore.
