XXV. On the rising of the Sun.
Look, look, brave Sol doth peep up from beneath, Shows us his golden face, doth on us breath. He also doth compass us round with Glories, Whilst he ascends up to his higher Stories. Where he his Banner over us displays, And gives us light to see our Works and Ways.
LOok, look, brave Sol doth peep up from beneath, Shews us his golden face, doth on us breath. He also doth compass us round with Glories, Whilst he ascends up to his higher Stories. Where he his Banner over us displays, And gives us light to see our Works and Ways.
Nor are we now, as at the peep of light, To question, Is it day, or is it night? The night is gone, the shadow's fled away; And we now most sure are that it is day. Our Eyes behold it, and our Hearts believe it, Nor can the wit of man in this deceive it.
And thus it is when Jesus shows his face, And doth assure us of his Love and Grace.
