| 1 Supreme of beings, with delight Our eyes survey this heav’nly sight; And trace with admiration sweet The beaming splendors of Thy feet. 2 Jasper and sapphire strive in vain To paint the glories of Thy train; Thy robes all stream eternal light, Too powerful for a cherub’s sight. 3 Yet round Thy throne the rainbow shines, Fair emblem of Thy kind designs: Bright pledge, that speaks Thy covenant sure Long as Thy kingdom shall endure. 4 No more shall deluges of woe Thy new-created world o’erflow; Jesus, our sun, His beams displays, And gilds the clouds with beauteous rays. 5 No gems so bright, no forms so fair; Mercy and truth full triumph there: Thy saints shall bless the peaceful sign, When stars and suns forget to shine. 6 E’en here, while storms and gloomy shade And horrors all the scene o’erspread, Faith views the throne with piercing eye, And boasts, the rainbow still is nigh. | The Cyber Hymnal #11328 |
