Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHAAII EEDDJJIKLLMMNNDDOPQQ| The sun is swiftly mounted high | A |
| It glitters in the southern sky | A |
| Its beams with force and glory beat | B |
| And fruitful earth is fill'd with heat | B |
| Father also with Thy fire | C |
| Warm the cold the dead desire | C |
| And make the sacred love of Thee | D |
| Within my soul a sun to me | D |
| Let it shine so fairly bright | E |
| That nothing else be took for light | E |
| That worldly charms be seen to fade | F |
| And in its lustre find a shade | F |
| Let it strongly shine within | G |
| To scatter all the clouds of sin | G |
| That drive when gusts of passion rise | H |
| And intercept it from our eyes | H |
| Let its glory more than vie | A |
| With the sun that lights the sky | A |
| Let it swiftly mount in air | I |
| Mount with that and leave it there | I |
| And soar with more aspiring flight | E |
| To realms of everlasting light | E |
| Thus while here I'm forc'd to be | D |
| I daily wish to live with Thee | D |
| And feel that union which Thy love | J |
| Will after death complete above | J |
| From my soul I send my prayer | I |
| Great creator bow Thine ear | K |
| Thou for whose propitious sway | L |
| The world was taught to see the day | L |
| Who spake the word and earth begun | M |
| And show'd its beauties in the sun | M |
| With pleasure I Thy creatures view | N |
| And would with good affection too | N |
| Good affection sweetly free | D |
| Loose from them and move to Thee | D |
| O teach me due returns to give | O |
| And to Thy glory let me live | P |
| And then my days shall shine the more | Q |
| Or pass more blessed than before | Q |
