For my eyes epitomized

2. In the dawning of each day
That succeeds the passing night.

3. Of that far and absent Light,
For naught in Truth can e'er be lost

4. To falsehood's fading plight.
And the Word's essential meaning

5. To mankind is now revealed,
While all wealth spent faithfully

6. To each trustee is sealed.
So no wastrel's lame excuses

7. Can a keeper's duty void,
Nor begrudgingly accepted
