{{Vs|1}} From the height celestial streaming,
Floods of orient light descend;  
Floods of orient light descend;
Over hill and valley gleaming,  
Over hill and valley gleaming,
With the glittering dews they blend.  
With the glittering dews they blend.
'Tis the hour when all things render  
'Tis the hour when all things render
Homage to the king of day,  
Homage to the king of day,
Ere he sheds exhausting splendour,  
Ere he sheds exhausting splendour,
In his sultry noontide ray.  
In his sultry noontide ray.

Ere my bosom harboured care,  
Ere my bosom harboured care,
Every scene with joy adorning,
Every scene with joy adorning,
Love shone brightly, sweetly there!  
Love shone brightly, sweetly there!
If a momentary sadness  
If a momentary sadness
Chanced upon my breast to light,  
Chanced upon my breast to light,
Gentle beams of sunny gladness,  
Gentle beams of sunny gladness,
Put the dreary cloud to flight.
Put the dreary cloud to flight.

In the thorny path of woe,  
In the thorny path of woe,
Doomed on parted joys to ponder,  
Doomed on parted joys to ponder,
Sadly sighing as I go;  
Sadly sighing as I go;
Oft in memory's glass reviewing,  
Oft in memory's glass reviewing,
Every spot my feet have trod,  
Every spot my feet have trod,
Fancy, each loved scene renewing,
Fancy, each loved scene renewing,
Lights with hope the future road.
Lights with hope the future road.

1  From the height celestial streaming,
Floods of orient light descend;
Over hill and valley gleaming,
With the glittering dews they blend.
'Tis the hour when all things render
Homage to the king of day,
Ere he sheds exhausting splendour,
In his sultry noontide ray.

2  O 'twas thus in life's gay morning,
Ere my bosom harboured care,
Every scene with joy adorning,
Love shone brightly, sweetly there!
If a momentary sadness
Chanced upon my breast to light,
Gentle beams of sunny gladness,
Put the dreary cloud to flight.

3  Now 'tis past! yet while I wander
In the thorny path of woe,
Doomed on parted joys to ponder,
Sadly sighing as I go;
Oft in memory's glass reviewing,
Every spot my feet have trod,
Fancy, each loved scene renewing,
Lights with hope the future road.
