To the Tune of the old 111. or 120. Psalm.
Psal. 81.13.
O That my people dearHad bow'd a willing earto that which I did say,And O that IsraelHad sought to please me wellby walking in my way!
I should have soon subdu'dTheir adversaries rude:and turn'd my powerfull handAgainst their enemies,Whoever durst arisemy people to withstand.
The haters of the LordShould all with one accordhave bow'd and been prostrate:But as for Israel's timeIt should have been in prime,and born eternal date.
I would have made them eatThe finest of the Wheatthat standeth in the shock:And in my favour freeHave satisfied theewith Honey from the rock.
