TO ESTHER (STAR.)
O Esther, if thou be a star,
Remember whence thy light is drawn;
Its lustre cometh from afar,
From no dull earthly clime or dawn.
Remember whence thy light is drawn;
Its lustre cometh from afar,
From no dull earthly clime or dawn.
Remember that it shines from Him,
Whose glorious beams alone can bless;
And thy poor feeble rays were dim,
But for the Sun of Righteousness.
Whose glorious beams alone can bless;
And thy poor feeble rays were dim,
But for the Sun of Righteousness.
Thy light will yet more brightly shine,
And on its course more gladly run,
And with a warmth yet more Divine,
The nearer thou art to thy Sun.
And on its course more gladly run,
And with a warmth yet more Divine,
The nearer thou art to thy Sun.
