1 We bless the eternal source of light, Who makes the stars to shine; And, thro' this dark beclouded world Diffuseth rays divine. 2 We bless the churches sovereign king, Whose golden lamps we are; Fix'd in the temples of his love To shine with radiance fair. 3 Still be our purity be preserv'd; Still fled with oil the flame; And in deep characters inscrib'd Our heavenly master’s name. 4 Then while between our ranks he walks, And all our state surveys, His smiles shall with new lustre deck The people of his praise. | The Cyber Hymnal #11325 A Selection of Hymns: from the best authors, intended to be an appendix to Dr. Watt's psalms and hymns.
