Lyics

Great Maker of unnumber'd worlds,

And whom unnumber'd worlds adore,

Whose goodness all thy creatures share,

While nature trembles at thy pow'r,-



Thine is the hand that moves the spheres,

That wakes the wind, and lifts the sea;

And man who moves, the lord of earth.

Acts but the part assign'd by thee.



While suppliant crowds implore thy aid,

To thee we raise the humble cry;

Thy altar is the contrite heart,

Thy incense, the repentant sigh,



O may our land, in this her hour,

Confess thy hand and bless the rod,

By penitence make thee her Friend,

And find in thee a guardian God.
