Text: | Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell |
Author: | Doddridge |
1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell,
With all your feeble light;
Farewell, thou ever-changing moon,
Pale empress of the night.
2 And thou, refulgent orb of day,
In brighter flames arrayed,
My soul, that springs beyond thy sphere,
No more demands thy aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust
Of my divine abode,
The pavement of those heavenly courts
Where I shall see my God.
4 The Father of eternal light
Will there his beams display;
Nor shall one moment's darkness blend
With that unvaried day.
