Hymn To The Sun
The Fumigation from
Frankincense and Manna.
Hear golden Titan, whose
eternal eye
With broad survey, illumines all
the sky:
Self-born, unwearied in diffusing
light,
And to all eyes the mirrour of
delight:
Lord of the seasons, with thy
fiery car
And leaping coursers, beaming
light from far:
With thy right hand the source
of morning light,
And with thy left the father of
the night,.
Agile and vig'rous, venerable
Sun,
Fiery and bright around the
heav'ns you run.
Foe to the wicked, but the good
man's guide,
O'er all his steps propitious you
preside:
With various-sounding, golden
lyre,'tis thine
To fill the world with harmony
divine.
Father of ages, guide of
prosp'rous deeds,
the world's commander, borne
by lucid steeds,
Immortal Jove, all-searching,
bearing light,
Source of existence, pure and
fiery bright:
Bearer of fruit, almighty lord of
years,
Agil and warm, whom ev'ry
pow'r revers.
Great eye of Nature and the
starry skies,
Doom'd with immortal flames to
set and rise:
Dispensing justice, lover of the
stream,
The world's great despot, and
o'er all supreme.
Faithful defender, and the eye of
right,
Of steeds the ruler, and of life
the light:
With sounding whip four fiery
steeds you guide,
When in the car of day you
glorious ride.
Propitious on these mystic
labours shine,
And Bless thy suppliants with a
life divine.
