| ANGEL, king of streaming morn; | |
| Cherub, call'd by Heav'n to shine; | |
| T' orient tread the waste forlorn; | |
| Guide ætherial, pow'r divine; | |
| Thou, Lord of all within! | 5 |

| Golden spirit, lamp of day, | |
| Host, that dips in blood the plain, | |
| Bids the crimson'd mead be gay, | |
| Bids the green blood burst the vein; | |
| Thou, Lord of all within! | 10 |
| |
| Soul, that wraps the globe in light; | |
| Spirit, beckoning to arise; | |
| Drives the frowning brow of night, | |
| Glory bursting o'er the skies; | |
| Thou, Lord of all within! | 15 |
