[While nations unenlighten'd lie]

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, &c. —lx. 2.

While nations unenlighten'd lie,
With darkness palpable o'erspread,
On thee the Dayspring from on high,
The Lord His brightest beams shall shed,
Stamp'd with the sinless character,
His praise thou shalt display below,
And putting on thy Saviour here,
Jehovah's glorious image show.
