The Rainbow.
O, beautiful rainbow,
All woven of light!
There's not, in thy tissue,
One shadow of night.—
It seems as heaven opened,
When thou dost appear,
And a visible presence
Of angels drew near,
And sung the rainbow,
The rainbow,
The smile of God is here.
All woven of light!
There's not, in thy tissue,
One shadow of night.—
It seems as heaven opened,
When thou dost appear,
And a visible presence
Of angels drew near,
And sung the rainbow,
The rainbow,
The smile of God is here.
I think, as I'm gazing,
Thy colors to mark,
How o'er the Ione mountain
Where rested the ark,
Those saved from the deluge,
With wondering eye,
Beheld the first rainbow
Burst over the sky;
And sung the rainbow,
The rainbow,
Thy promise, God, on high!
Thy colors to mark,
How o'er the Ione mountain
Where rested the ark,
Those saved from the deluge,
With wondering eye,
Beheld the first rainbow
Burst over the sky;

The rainbow,
Thy promise, God, on high!
And thousands of ages
Have flourished and fled,
Since on the first rainbow
That promise was read.—
Man dies, and earth changes,
But still doth endure
God's signet of mercy,
Fresh, lovely, and pure,
Then sing the rainbow,
The rainbow,
The love of God is sure.
Have flourished and fled,
Since on the first rainbow
That promise was read.—
Man dies, and earth changes,
But still doth endure
God's signet of mercy,
Fresh, lovely, and pure,
Then sing the rainbow,
The rainbow,
The love of God is sure.
