|
<p>How shall I sing that Majesty<br>
|
|
Which angels do admire?<br>
|
|
Let dust in dust and silence lie;<br>
|
|
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.<br>
|
|
Thousands of thousands stand around<br>
|
|
Thy throne, O God most high;<br>
|
|
Ten thousand times ten thousand sound<br>
|
|
Thy praise; but who am I?</p>
|
|
<p>Thy brightness unto them appears,<br>
|
|
Whilst I Thy footsteps trace;<br>
|
|
A sound of God comes to my ears,<br>
|
|
But they behold Thy face.<br>
|
|
They sing because Thou art their Sun;<br>
|
|
Lord, send a beam on me;<br>
|
|
For where heaven is but once begun<br>
|
|
There alleluias be.</p>
|
|
<p>Enlighten with faith’s light my heart,<br>
|
|
Inflame it with love’s fire;<br>
|
|
Then shall I sing and bear a part<br>
|
|
With that celestial choir.<br>
|
|
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,<br>
|
|
With all my fire and light;<br>
|
|
Yet when Thou dost accept their gold,<br>
|
|
Lord, treasure up my mite.</p>
|
|
<p>How great a being, Lord, is Thine,<br>
|
|
Which doth all beings keep!<br>
|
|
Thy knowledge is the only line<br>
|
|
To sound so vast a deep.<br>
|
|
Thou art a sea without a shore,<br>
|
|
A sun without a sphere;<br>
|
|
Thy time is now and evermore,<br>
|
|
Thy place is everywhere.</p>
