Lyics

From Greenland's icy mountains;

From India's coral strand,

Where Afric's sunny fountains,

Roll down their golden sand;

From many ancient river,

From many a palmy plain,

They call us to deliver

Their land from error's chain.



What tho' the spicy breezes

Blow soft o'er Ceylon's Isle;

Tho' ev'ry prospect pleases,

And only man is vile,

In vain, with lavish kindness,

The gifts of God are strown;

The heathen, in their blindness,

Bow down to wood and stone.
