george dyson - o timely happy, timely wise lyrics

Loading...

oh! timely happy, timely wise
hearts that with rising morn arise!
eyes that the beam celestial view
which evermore makes all things new!

new every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought
restored to life, and power, and thought

new mercies, each returning day
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven
new thoughts of god, nеw hopes of heaven

thеre is a book, who runs may read
which heavenly truth imparts
and all the love its scholars need
pure eyes and christian hearts

the works of god above, below
within us and around
are pages in that book, to shew
how god himself is found

thou, who hast given me eyes to see
and love this sight so fair
give me a heart to find out thee
and read thee every where
the glorious sky, embracing all
is like the maker’s love
wherewith encompass’d, great and small
in peace and order move

the saviour lends the light and heat
that crown his holy hill;
the saints, like stars, around his seat
perform their courses still

one name, above all glorious names
with its ten thousand tongues
the everlasting sea proclaims
echoing angelic songs

vexilla regis prodeunt;
fulget crucis mysterium
quo carne carnis conditor
suspensus est patibulo

the royal banners forward go;
the cross shines forth in mystic glow
where he in flesh, our flesh who made
our sentence bore, our ransom paid;

if on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find
new treasures still, of countless price
god will provide for sacrifice
old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be
as more of heaven in each we see:
some softening gleam of love and prayer
shall dawn on every cross and care

the trivial round, the common task
would furnish all we ought to ask;
room to deny ourselves; a road
to bring us, daily, nearer god

only, o lord, in thy dear love
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day
to live more nearly as we pray
