Charles Wood - O Thou, the central orb - текст песни (слова)

O Thou, the central orb of righteous love,
 Pure beam of the most High, eternal Light
 Of this our wintry world, Thy radiance bright
 Awakes new joy in faith, hope soars above. 
 
 Come, quickly come, and let thy glory shine,
 Gilding our darksome heaven with rays Divine. 
 
 Thy saints with holy lustre round Thee move,
 As stars about thy throne, set in the height
 Of God's ordaining counsel, as Thy sight
 Gives measured grace to each, Thy power to prove. 
 
 Let Thy bright beams disperse the gloom of sin,
 Our nature all shall feel eternal day
 In fellowship with thee, transforming day
 To souls erewhile unclean, now pure within. Amen.
