Look to the Heavens, O HUSBANDMAN; and Glorify the Infinite Father of Lights, and maker of the SUN, who keeps the World from Languishing, by the Rays which He sends forth from such a Creature upon it. Are not the Eyes, which cannot behold the SUN, much more dazzled before the Infinite GOD, with whom there is terrible Majesty!
But let thy Thoughts proceed unto thy SAVIOUR, who is, The Light of the World. Think, and wish, at this rate.
O Thou SUN of Righteousness; Do Thou Rise unto me with Healing in thy Wings. Thou art as Useful and as Needful unto my Soul, as the Sun is unto the World. Thou art unto the Intellectual World, what the Sun is to the Material. In thy Light, Oh! Let me see Light; and by Thy Light, Let me walk through' Darkness. Do thou Impart Life, ⟨p. 221⟩and Warmth, and Growth unto me. O Thou Face of GOD, shine thou upon me, and I shall be Saved. Lord, I perish, if thou hide thy Face from me!
