UNVEIL, O Lord, and on us shine,In glory and in grace ;This gaudy world grows pale beforeThe beauty of Thy face. Its noblest toils are then the scourgeAMiich made Thy blood to flow ; Its joys are but the treacherous thornsAVhich circled round Thy brow. Till Thou art seen, it seems to be A sort of fairy ground,Where suns unsetting light the sky, And flowers and fruits abound. And thus, when we renounce for Thee Its endless aims and tender memories of the past, The hopes of coming years, But when Thy keener, purer beamIs pourd upon our sight, It loses all its power to charm,And what was day is night. Poor is our sacrifice, whose eyes Ai-e lighted from above ;We oflFer what we cannot keep, \Miat we have ceased to love. [CARDIKAL KEWMAN] ( 306 > GENERAL.
