¶Lyrics / Text

How brightly and serenely She takes her nightly round! Who in yon starry chaplet Is thus with beauty crowned? How modestly she wanders, Her face concealed from sight, Yet spreads around her gladness, With soft and beaming light. Day's labour she rewardeth, And bids the eyelids close, The sons of earth inviting To silent night's repose. She fills the soul with gladness, When evening's breath is chill; Doth pure and holy feelings Into our breast instil. Thou, who to us hast given Her sweet and friendly light, Thou in a life of gladness Must surely take delight. For all our joys we thank thee; We thank thee for thy moon, Who richly thus rewardeth The anxious cares of noon.
