Lyics

Earth has a joy unknown in heaven

The newborn joy of sins forgiven!

Tears of such pure and deep delight,

O, angels, never dimmed your sight.



You saw of old on chaos rise

The beauteous pillars of the skies;

You know where morn exulting springs,

And evening folds her drooping wings.



Bright heralds of th' Eternal Will,

Abroad his errands you fulfill;

Or, throned in floods of beamy day,

Symphonious in his presence play.
