LyicsGreat 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.
