Author: William A. Mühlenberg Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8542 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: Since o’er Thy footstool here below Lyrics: 1 Since o’er Thy footstool here below Such radiant gems are strewn; O, what magnificence must glow, Great God, about Thy throne! So brilliant here these drops of light— There the full ocean rolls, how bright! 2 If night’s blue curtain of the sky— With thousand stars in-wrought, Hung like a royal canopy With glittering diamonds fraught— Be, Lord, Thy temple’s outer veil, What splendor at the shrine must dwell! 3 The dazzling sun at noonday hour— Forth from his flaming vase Flinging o’er earth the golden shower Till vale and mountain blaze— But shows, O Lord, one beam of Thine; What, then, the day where Thou dost shine! 4 O, how shall these dim eyes endure That noon of living rays! Or how our spirits, so impure, Upon Thy glory gaze! Anoint, O Lord, anoint our sight, And fit us for that world of light. Languages: English Tune Title: MAGNIFICENCE

Since o'er thy footstool here below

Author: Muhlenberg Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #943 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Since o'er thy footstool here below Such radiant gems are strown, Oh, what magnificence must glow, Great God, about thy throne! So brilliant here these drops of light; There the full ocean rolls, how bright! 2 If night's blue curtain of the sky,-- With thousand stars inwrought, Hung like a royal canopy With glittering diamonds fraught,-- Be, Lord, thy temple's outer vail, What splendor at the shrine must dwell! 3 The dazzling sun at noonday hour,-- Forth from his flaming vase Flinging o'er earth the golden shower Till vale and mountain blaze,-- But shows, O Lord, one beam of thine; What, then, the day where thou dost shine? 4 Oh, how shall these dim eyes endure That noon of living rays! Or how our spirits, so impure, Upon thy glory gaze! Anoint, O Lord, anoint our sight, And fit us for that world of light. Topics: Heaven; Magnificence of Heaven
