When his parting breath expires,
He again to Earth retires.
Ev'n in that uncertain day
All his thoughts with him decay.
Happy he, whom God protects;
He, on whom his Grace reflects.
Happy he, who plants his trust
On the only Good and Just.
He who Heavens bl••w Arch display'd;
He who Earths Foundation laid;
Spread the Land-imbracing Main;
Made what ever all contain:
True to what his Word profest;
He revengeth the opprest;
Hungry Souls with food sustains,
And unbinds the Prisoners chains:
To the blind restores his sight;
Rears, who fall by wicked might.
Righteousness his Soul affects.
Friendless Strangers he protects,
Widdows, and the Fatherless;
Those confounds who these oppress.
Zion, God, thy God shall raign,
While the Poles their Orbs sustain.
Hallelu-jah.
