Behold The Sun. (Air.--Lord Mornington.)
By Thomas Moore
Behold the Sun, how bright From yonder East he springs, As if the soul of life and light Were breathing from his wings. So bright the Gospel broke Upon the souls of men; So fresh the dreaming world awoke In Truth's full radiance then. Before yon Sun arose, Stars clustered thro' the sky-- But oh how dim, how pale were those, To His one burning eye! So Truth lent many a ray, To bless the Pagan's night-- But, Lord, how weak, how cold were they To Thy One glorious Light!
