Hymne. XIIII. At Sun-setting.
[_]
The singing or meditating to such purposes as are intimated in this Hymne (when we see the Sun declining) may perhaps expell unprofitable musings, and arme against the Terrors of approaching darknesse.
Sing this as the former.
[1]
Behold, the Sun that seem'd, but now,Enthroned over-head,
Beginneth to decline below
This Globe, whereon we tread:
And, he whom, yet, we looke upon
VVith comfort and delight;
VVill quite depart from hence, anon,
And leave us to the Night.
21
2
Thus Time (unheeded) steales awayThe life which Nature gave.
Thus, are our Bodies ev'ry Day
Declining to the Grave.
Thus, from us all those Pleasures flie,
VVhereon we set our hart:
And, when the Night of death draws nigh,
Thus will they all depart.
3
Lord! though the Sun forsake our sight,And mortall hopes are vain,
Let, still, thine Everlasting Light,
VVithin our Soules remain.
And in the Nights of our Distresse
Vouchsafe those Raies-divine
VVhich from the Sun of Righteousnesse,
For ever brightly shine.
