As the bright sun's meridian blaze
O'erwhelms and pains our feeble sight,
But cheers us with its softer rays
: When shining with reflected light; :||

So in thy Son thy power divine,
Thy wisdom, justice, truth, and love,
With mild and pleasing lustre shine,
||:Reflected from thy throne above.:||

OThou, at whose almighty word
Fair light at first from darkness shone!
Teach us to know our glorious Lord,
||: And trace the Father in the Son.:||

While we thine image there displayed
With love and admiration view,
Form us in likeness to our Head,
That we may bear thine image,
too. :||

God Unsearchable.
