With a glorious eye Matches base text
Language: English
God looks on nature with a glorious eye And blesses all creation with the sun Its drapery of green and brown earth ocean lie in morning as creation just begun That saffron east fortells the rising sun And who can look upon that majesty Of light brightness and splendour nor feel won With love of him whose bright all seeing eye Feeds the days light with Immortality.
