Reason immersed in flesh and sense,
In dreary shades but dimly shines;
Thick darkness has the mind o’erspread,
We scarce can trace its feeble lines.
Eternal source of every good;
Thyself almighty and alwise,
Dispel these mists of ignorance,
And let thy glorious light arise.
Let reason, to herself restored,
Give thee thy right, assert her own;
While we attentive to her voice,
With reverence bow before thy throne.
