To give them fongs for fighing, By fuch fhall he be feared, For he fhall judge the poor, Through changing generations, With juftice, mercy, truth, While ftars maintain their stations, And moons renew their youth. He fhall come down like showers Arabia's defert ranger To Him fhall bow the knee; The Ethiopian stranger, His glory come to fee: With offerings of devotion, Ships from the isles shall meet To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at His feet.

Ye angels, catch the thrilling found; Let ev'ry listening faint above Wake all the tuneful foul of love, And touch the sweetest string. IV. Join, ye loud fpheres, the vocal choir; Thou, dazzling orb of liquid fire, The mighty chorus aid; |
