quote · Legacy record
We see no more in Thy pure skies, How soft, O God! the sunset dies: How every coloured hill and wood Seems melting in the golden flood: Yet, by the precious memories won From bright hours, now for ever gone, Father, o’er all Thy works we know Thou still art shedding beauty’s glow; Still touching every cloud and tree With glory, eloquent of Thee; Still feeding all Thy flowers with light, Though man hath barred it from our sight. We know Thou reignest, the unchanging One, All-just! And bless Thee still, with free and boundless trust.
