Religion
Ecclesiastes 11:7: But how much pleasanter to see
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
But how much pleasanter to see,
(When time its course hath run,)
To gaze with eagle's eye on Thee
Our uncreated Sun!
Thee let me now through faith behold.
And by reflection shine.
Till nature's dross is turn'd to gold,
And I am all Divine.
