With conscious sighs we own; While clouds of sorrow, care and pain O'ershade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thoughts and wishes fly, Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky Which sorrow ne'er invades. 5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason's feeble ray, In ever blooming prospects rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine, To guide our upward aim! With one reviving touch of thine, Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.
