That, to be hated, need but bo soen."
Almighty God do driyo back the storm
Which threatens us, in hidious form
Give peace, prosperity, happiness,

SO Christ, tho Saviour, will us confess;
In that great and awful Judgment day,
Against US, having nothing ratl to say,
But bid us Welcome TO thy rich throne,
In accents Of sweet and God-like tono.
Save us, On Lord, from all Rad evils,
