Original Ode.

The following ODE was sung on Thanks-
giving Day, at the Church in Summer
street, Boston, by Mr. Huntington, in
style of excellence seldom Witnessed In
this country
Sound the note Of thanksgiving! with fervent de-
vot5a.
To the KIEC ofthe earth let your gratitude rise ;
Patriots rejoice he hath stih'd the commoton,
And PEACE, Heavily PEACE, deScends from
the skies.
Angels Join in the song
Be the notes loud and long;
No longer are heard the groans the brave
Now the chorus touch again
How melodlous the strain,
That welcomes the Seraph nation to save.
BLESSED was the era when sin and dehsion
Call'd for a Saviour to visit mankind
Discord abashd, fed the world in confusion,
When the bright sun of PEACE iiiumind the
mind
Earth's monarchs releuted,
Of carnage repeated,
Rorae'a infdcI God closed his ominous gate
No longer widows signs,
Minglng with orphans cries,
Curs'd the fuse glory OF conquering States.
Again swell the psan that era's reviying--
Let the Demon OF Discord t oblivion be hurl'd !!
See the Kingdoms OF Europe, triumphantly striy-
ing,
One temple of Concord to form of the world
Kndle devotion S fire,
Till it to Eeavn aspire,
And the Earth be an altar OF truth and Of love-
Then hail to these days,
Every heart join the praise,
''Pcace and good will TO man" descends from
above.
