Lyics

Say, who is she, that looks abroad,

Like the sweet blushing dawn,

When with her living light she paints

The dew-drops of the lawn:



Fair as the moon, when in the skies

Serene her throne she guides,

And o'er the twinkling stars supreme

In full-orb'd glory rides:



Clear as the sun, when from the east

Without a cloud he springs,

And scatters boundless light and heat,

From his resplendent wings:



Tremendous as an host that moves

Majestically slow,

With banners wide display'd, all arm'd,

All ardent for the foe!



This is the church by heaven array'd,

With strength and grace divine;

Thus shall she strike her foes with dread,

And thus her glories shine.
