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