The Hymn.
O GREAT Creator of the light!
Who from the darksome womb of night,
Brought'st forth new light at nature's birth,
To shine upon the face of earth.
Who, by the morn and evening ray, Hast measured time and called it day;
Whilst sable night involves the spheres,
Vouchsafe to hear our prayers and tears;
