The Lord of light, tho' veil'd awhile
He hide his noon tide ray,
Shall soon in lovelier beauty smile,
To gild the closing day:
And, bursting thro' the dusky shroud
That dar'd his pow'r invest.
Ride thron'd in light o'er every cloud,
Triumphant to his rest:
And there, beneath his beam renew'd.
That glorious vale shall shine.
So long by trembling Hope pursu'd,
And now for ever thine.
Then, Christian, dry the falling tear;
The faithless doubt remove;
Redeemed at last from guilt and fear,
Oh! wake thy heart to love.
