Look down from thy starry throne upon thy implor-
ing servant, from whose lips the prayer Of millions
ascends to thy Heavens, praising the uusearchable
power of thine OInnpotence. o God, over me shines
thy sun, and beneath me reposes the relics of my

soul Of brave nations thunder TO break the hand

Mighty over myriads! Almighty God of the Heavens,
the Earth and the Seas! From these bones springs
