Midnight by Moonlight - ZaunköniG - 08.05.2012 Midnight by Moonlight On the Parramatta Estuary THRICE hath my soul, O Everlasting Lord, This solemn night, beneath thy dome on high - The bless'd, blue, serene, o'erarching sky - Thy loving kindness and Thy power adored. First, when the broad red sun his farewell smile Upon this palpitating water shed, Around me luminous benediction spread, Methought, I lived in some celestial isle. Anon, from out heaven's deep unclouded blue, A thousand radiant stars in glory beamed - Like seraph hosts, through space, they sang and gleamed. Why pales their vivid brightness on my view? Because SHE comes - the virgin Queen of Light O God, how awful is this noon of night! |
