The Goodly Land I fee,-Exod. 3. 8, With Peace and Plenty bleft; A Land of facred Liberty,-Lev. 25. 42. And endless Reft:-Exod. 33. 14.

There Milk and Honey flow :-Exod. 3. 8. And Oil and Wine abound;-Deut.32.13,14, And Trees of Life for ever grow,-Ifa. 61. 3. With Mercy crown'd.

Before the SAVIOUR'S Face
The ranfom'd Nations bow;
O'erwhelm'd at his Almighty Grace,
For ever new !

He fhews his Scars of Love!
They kindle to a Flame;
And found, thro' all the Worlds above,
The flaughter'd LAMB.

The GOD who reigns on High
The Great Arch-Angels fing,-Ifa. 6. 3.
And "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY," cry,
ALMIGHTY KING!

TOW be the God of Ifr'el blefs'd,

Now Who makes his Truth appear;

His mighty Hand fulfills his Word,
And all the Qaths. He fware.

Now he bedews old David's Root
With Bleffings from the Skies;
He makes the Branch of Promife grow,
The promis'd Horn arise.

He makes the great Salvation known
He fpeaks of pardon'd Sin;
While Grace divine, and Heav'nly Love,
In their own Glory shine.

Behold the Morning Star arife,
Ye that in Darkness fit;

It marks the Path, that leads to Peace,
And guides our Doubtful Feet.

The Sheep that on his Paftures live.

Enter his Gates with Songs of Joy,
With Praifes to his Courts repair :
And make it your divine Employ
To pay your Thanks and Honours there.

The LORD is good, the LORD is kind;
Great is his Grace, his Mercy fure :
And the whole Race of Man fhall find,
His Truth from Age to Age endure.

His humble Handmaid raife.

Me blefs'd of GOD, the GOD. of Power,
All Ages fhall confefs;

Whofe Name is holy, and whofe Love,
His Saints hall ever blefs.

Strength with his Arm th' Almighty shewed,
The Proud he did confound:

He caft the mighty from their Seat,
The meek and humble crown'd.

The Hungry with good Things are filled ;
The Rich with Hunger pin'd :
He fent his Servant Ifrael help;

And called his Love to mind.

Which to our Fathers ancient Race,
His Oath did once enfure.

To Abrah'm and his chofen Seed,
For ever to endure.
