¶Lyrics / Text

The lights on yonder snowy range Shine yet intense and tender; Or, slowly passing, only change From splendour on to splendour. Before the dying hour of day Immortal visions wander; Dreams prescient of a purer ray, And morns spread still beyond her. Lo! Heavenward now those gleams aspire In heavenly melancholy; The barrier mountains, peak and spire, Relinquishing them slowly. Thus shine, O God, our mortal powers, While grief and snow refine them, And when in death they fade, be ours Thus gently to resign them.
