Gem of the silver ray, Set in the Kate of cUy, Hail to llict", shiniDg o'er forest and lea ! From thy clear i'uradifep, Watching tho lark arise, Singing its rapturous paeans to thee 1 O't tlolli thy piercing eye licit on the mountains hi};h, Glin'ing on terro's of crag and crevas?e ; Oft makes a yia< li divite - Far on the level btine, On the broad bosom of ocean at peace. Star of ambitin), shed Light ou my ic^t!e<=d heid, Fill me with patience to labour or wait ; Give to niy heart and bva ; n Struigtli to ci rlurc Iho stiain, Courage to bear their part c. r!y and late. "Beam, O benignant* tar, On the dark l*uils afar ! By the swe t meicy of Him who once died 1 1J^ar on thy lay of gr^co Hope to the human race, Lighten the d'.rkness of error and priile !
