[But how much pleasanter to see]

A pleasant thing it is, to behold the sun. —xi. 7.

But how much pleasanter to see,
(When time its course hath run,)
To gaze with eagle's eye on Thee
Our uncreated Sun!
Thee let me now through faith behold,
And by reflection shine,
Till nature's dross is turn'd to gold,
And I am all Divine.
