And by his sovereign power and grace)
Preferv'd us in such wond'rous ways. )
But still with care may we record,
And fear the goodness of the Lord ;
Revere the mercy thus beftow'd, )
With solemn praise and gratitude, )
Nor tempt the jealousy of God. )
Not for; our fakes, to raise us high,
In power and wealth and policy,
Hath the Almighty ftretch'd his hand,
So often to proted this land ;
But to display and spread abroad,
His glories for much higher good.
His wonder-working providence,
Still over-ruling all events,
T' establish his Mefiiah's reign +
On earth ; that sum of Good to man^
Bow to his feepter and befure,
This riling empire will endure,
The spirit and virtues, that compose
His kingdom, will confound our foe-
Form every moral, social worth,
Thatblefs society on earth ;
Adorn and sweeten life, engage,
Th' Almighty's power and patronage,
Subservient to the grand design,
Of more extensive good to man.
Goodwill from Sion's King difplay'd
To man must through the nations spread ;
As gladdening beams of morning light,
Dispel the gloomy shades of night ;
The fun of righteousness will shine,
On the dark world with beams divine j
With truth illume the hearts of men,
Restore and make man, man again.
See now th' effects of heavenly grace,
On Adam's long enslaved race!
Their fouls from inward bondage freed
By truth divine are free indeed ;
Feel life and joys unknown till now, )
Their hearts with gladness overflow )
Poffeft of all they wish below.)
So nature in the vernal hour,
Defpoil'd by winters freezing power.
Warm'd by the fun's prolific ray,
Revives and (miles with green array :
Rich fruits shoot from the teeming earth :
Life's grand support : With warbling breathy
The feather'd tribes of every wing,
Pour forth their joys and charm the Spring ;
All creatures feel the quick'ning power,
That walk, or swim, or creep, or soar;
And call on man great Lord of all,
To praise their great original.
Th' enlightend nations then will fee,
And know their native liberty,
SEASONABLE THOUGHTS
AMIDST Belona's dire alarms,
The rage of war and pride of arms :
High hopes to disappoint our foes,
&pel the wrongs they meant t' impose
f ensure our rights with love'reign power,
Wide ftretch'd on this extended shore.
Through many climes of richest foil
That crowns with plenty rural toil,
Open for trade, to fill her stores,
With foreign goods from distant shores :
While freedom fires more generous minds
To form the noblest belt designs;
Wakes genius on the letter'd page,
Intent, from every former age,
To learn their aits, improve them fiill )
With ripest, patriotic skill, )
"F adorn and bless the commonweal : )
'Till this young empire rises to,
The height of glory here below-
Midst profpe&s of such flatt'ring kind,
So apt t' attack the humane mind :*
Amidlt the warmth of rival ftrife,
To rife and shine in public life :
Let not the hand of Heaven that wrought
All our Salvation be forgot;
Whofaw our dangers and diltrefs )
And claim their rights, no longer own
And worship tyrants on the throne;
But glory in the Prince of Peace,
Their joy, their strength and righteousness.
And share the gifts by heaven align'd,
Por common bleflings to mankind,
With warmest love and gratitude
To the great source of boundless good;
Whence men derive their all on earth
And brightest profpe&s after death,
fhefe views will heal the angry ftrife.
That wastes this globe embitters life.
And form the social heart inclin'd
To feck the peace of all mankind.
All, in their proper Rations still,
Will joy t' advance the common weak
,ecl their own happiness increaft,
the more they fee creation bleft,
The God-like plcafure flowing thence.
Will prompt to new benificence.
To friendlieft ads; through mutual love.
Like the bleft realms of joy above,
love the prime law by heaven design'd
T' unite and rule and bless mankind.
Thus Zion's King, with happi'R power
Vill rule the earth, his reign endure,
When thrones of tyrants aie no more.
