LyicsHAPPY the city where their sons,
Like pillars round a palace set--
And daughters bright as polish'd stones,
Give strength and beauty to the state.
Happy the country where the sheep,
Cattle, and corn have large increase:
Where men securely work or sleep,
Nor sons of plunder break the peace.
Happy the nation thus endow'd;
But most divinely blest are those
On whom the all-sufficient God
Himself, with all his grace bestows.
