Sovereign of worlds! display thy pow'r,.
Be this thy lions fvour'd hour:
Bid the bright morning star arise
Aud point the nations to the skies
Set up thy throne where Satan reigns,
On Atric's shore, OH midas plains
On wiids aud continents unknown
And be the universe thine own!
speas-and the world shall hear thy voice;
Scatter the shades OF moral night;
Let worthless idols fleethe light!
Trusting in Him, dear brethren rear
The Gospel, STANDARD. void of fear
Go seek with JOY your destined shore,
10 view your native land no more.
Yes-Christian Heroes !-go proclaim
salvation through IAIMAN UEI,s name
10 midas cline the tidings bear.
And plant the Rose of Sharon there.
He'll shield you with wall of fire.

And hush the tempest into peace.
