1 Sweet infancy! O fire of Heaven! O sacred light! How fair and bright! How great am I, Whom all the world doth magnify! 2 O heavenly joy! O great and sacred blessedness, Which I possess! So great a joy Who did into my arms convey! 3 From God above Being sent, the heavens me inflame, To praise His name. The stars do move! The burning sun doth show His love. 4 O how divine Am I! To all this sacred wealth, This life and health, Who rais'd? Who mine Did make the same? What hand divine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE MOTHER (MARGERY CARRUTH, 1896-1981) by HAYDEN CARRUTH PROVING by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WHERE? by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: IPPOLIT KONOVALOFF by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
