[Fountain of light thy Saviour is]

Thy sun shall no more go down; &c. —lx. 20.

Fountain of light thy Saviour is,
Thy Saviour is both moon and sun,
A source of unexhausted bliss,
A sun that can no more go down;
Thy bliss shall neither change nor wane,
When Jesus doth thy glory prove,
And never shalt thou lose again
The' eternal sunshine of His love.
Thy happiest state is come at last;
Who canst not sin, thou canst not mourn,
Thy sad afflicted days are pass'd,
And never, never shall return;

459

The spring from whence thy sorrow flow'd
Is dried, when Christ appears in sight,
And sighs before the face of God
Shall take their everlasting flight.
