107. Above my eye

1 Above my eye,
The lovely sky,
Aloft and bright
With tender light,--
With sun's clear ray,--
The eye of day,--
With moon's pale beam,
With starry gleam.

2 Within my breast,
A light most blest,
A light like day
Of sunny ray,
Like rising moon,
When day is done,
Like trembling star,
In heaven afar.

3 Within, the light;
Without, the light;
And both from God
Are shed abroad;
He shines afar,
In sun and star;
And with His beams
The spirit gleams.
