ilhil! Maid return of new-lettgtlenlng Marl .
That nearer brings to hantortality,
And holy Joy, the revolted little nines,
Who dare topreciate the 'need hnmense of Time.
Hail! Bear Inane of everlasslog Morn
Whose rays of life and love sloth dissolve ••
The ley sera that limb the miser's soul - • '
With desolatiog curse of 'avarice ;
In bobs' dint, and adamantine heart,
Too oft securely hid ! Tho' outward form
The credulous deceive, thou mast discern
Th.: loathsome spectre there, that ever reigns,
And rules a minor hell of rankling care,
Perpetual in life ; the horrid foretaste
Qf eternal woe, and blackest dire despair !
Oh! chase away the all-devouring fend,
From such, at least, as, having pow'r w aid
Their follows, sometimes spare a little part
Of that; which, though deslin'd for human good
Oft proves a source of endless misery!
Now, whilst with shiv'ring cold and famine led,
Thy poor in world's estate a m:rsel seek
Froln door to door ; and some lees confident,
Wit* sick'ning soul extended lie—hopeless,
Except in thee ! Oh, send thy lightnings forth,
Swift ministers to thy benignity,
And rend the rocky treasuries, that still
Fast eked remain ; impregnable to all
But thee, &Mats I Llzaviirtv Star !
Ador'd and worsided'only, take at length
The reins of empire I. thyself ,grin,
And rule thine own, with Manger is.-ruse I
No longer let deluding Idol-wealth
Usurp the kingdom of thy sov'reign.tway ;
But pour thy pronad gift of Spirit out
On all thy militant ; and chief on those,
Who, in their stereos sorrows have preparl,
With self-Matitiadion, for the boon :
Who beading to a oinios'icirestisesserit,
Shad reap rich blessings from a Father's boa
eniversel bay Levsand !
Whose genial rays shall usher in with joy
The gloriosa beams of a still brighter morn :
Plies, led tkro' paths of Fst.towsoir and Prier,
We shad with rapture hail the Source of Love,
And revel in immeasurable bliss! •
