| Oh thou art glorious orb of day | D |
| Exulting nations hail thy ray | D |

| Thy beams the insect's wings suffuse | F |
| And in the diamond burn | E |

| Yet must thou fade when earth and heaven | G |
| By fire and tempest shall be riven | G |
| Thou from thy sphere of radiance driven | G |
| Oh Sun must fall at last | H |
| Another heaven another earth | I |
| Far other glory shall have birth | I |
| When all we see is past | H |

| But He who gave the word of might | A |
| 'Let there be light' and there was light | A |
| Who bade thee chase the gloom of night | A |

| For ever bright for ever pure | K |
| Alone unchanging shall endure | K |
| The Sun of Righteousness | L |
