Poem
Beautiful Sun! with thy golden rays, To God, the wise Creator, be all praise; For thou nourisheth all the creation, Wherever there is found to be animation. Without thy heat we could not live, Then praise to God we ought to give; For thou makest the fruits and provisions to grow, To nourish all creatures on earth below. Thou makest the hearts of the old feel glad, Likewise the young child and the lad, And the face of Nature to look green and gay, And the little children to sport and play. Thou also givest light unto the Moon, Which certainly is a very great boon To all God's creatures here below, Throughout the world where'er they go. How beautiful thou look'st on a summer morn, When thou sheddest thy effulgence among the yellow corn, Also upon lake, and river, and the mountain tops, Whilst thou leavest behind the most lovely dewdrops! How beautiful thou seem'st in the firmament above, As I gaze upon thee, my heart fills with love To God, the great Creator, Who has placed thee there, Who watches all His creatures with an eye of care! Thou makest the birds to sing on the tree, Also by meadow, mountain, and lea; And the lark high poised up in air, Carolling its little song with its heart free from care. Thou makest the heart of the shepherd feel gay As he watches the little lambkins at their innocent play; While he tends them on the hillside all day, Taking care that none of them shall go astray. Thou cheerest the weary traveller while on his way During the livelong summer day, As he admires the beautiful scenery while passing along, And singing to himself a stave of a song. Thou cheerest the tourist while amongst the Highland hills, As he views their beautiful sparkling rills Glittering like diamonds by the golden rays, While the hills seem to offer up to God their praise. While the bee from flower to flower does roam To gather honey, and carry it home; While it hums its little song in the beautiful sunshine, And seemingly to thank the Creator divine -- For the honey it hath gathered during the day, In the merry month of May, When the flowers are in full bloom, Also the sweet honeysuckle and the broom. How beautiful thy appearance while setting in the west, Whilst encircled with red and azure, 'tis then thou look'st best! Then let us all thank God for thy golden light In our prayers every morning and night!
