on virtue - marvin mills lyrics

o thou bright jewel in my aim i strive
to comprehend thee. thine own words declare
wisdom is higher than a fool can reach
i cease to wonder, and no more attempt
thine height t’explore, or fathom thy profound
but, o my soul, sink not into despair
virtue is near thee, and with gentle hand
would now embrace thee, hovers o’er thine head
fain would the heaven*born soul with her converse
then seek, then court her for her promised bliss

auspicious queen, thine heavenly pinions spread
and lead celestial chastity along;
lo! now her sacred retinue descends
arrayed in glory from the orbs above
attend me, virtue, thro’ my youthful years!
o leave me not to the false joys of time!
but guide my steps to endless life and bliss
greatness, or goodness, say what i shall call thee
to give an higher appellation still
teach me a better strain, a n0bler lay
o thou, enthroned with cherubs in the realms of day!
