Thou s,un of worlds unknown, whose light ne'er on us shone, How softly falls thy beam, on mountain, hül andstream; Unchnnged thy place and true, in Heaven's fair archinR blue- Brilliant as when earth flrst caught thy rays. Thy form is still the same as when God lit thy flune; Thro' ages rolling on thy 6ilyery light has abone; Undimmeü thro' myriad years thy glory still appea;-, Superbly set in Heaven's fair dome. Thy home, how far away, near God's eternal day; Beautiful. sublime, resplendent as thy prime; God's halos round thee glow in beams of light that show Thy wondrous beauties to our gaze. Incandescent star, thro' boundless space how far? As inflnite thy course as He who set thy force ; And yet thy rays combine where twenty millionsshine On Heaven's broad, ampie road sublime 1 Art thou a place of rest for souls of Heavenly quest? Or art thou fairer still, the home which God doth will For happy creatures biest, to flnd eternal rest In view of His bright celestial throne? How brtlliant is thy race thro' boundless flelds of space; A sun more bright at birth than that which lights our earth; Whose glories far ttwaj illume the Milky Way, The "golden-sanded" center of the spheres. Twenty million suns, thro' which God's mercy runs, In wondrous floods of light, as beautiful as bright, As marvelous and fair as He who flxed them there, For men and angels bright to gaze upont The faintest in the blue, whose light ne'er came to view, Not since creation's dawn its light to earth has drawn ; Mysterious star and lone, whose light is near the throne ! O! break in Heavenly splendor on my soul.
