Upon EASTER-DAY.
Hail, Holy Morn, the Morn that made appearTwo Suns at once above this Hemisphear:
112
That it gives evry thing both Heat and Light;
Th' Other transcending Him in Light so far
As He excels any inferior Star:
The Sun of Righteousness; He who displays
Upon the inward man his Heav'nly Rays.
O that those Rays wold on my Soul reflect
By the bless'd influence of his Aspect,
To penetrate the centre of my Heart,
And thence exhale all the Terrestrial Part.
