FOETRT. Oa. 26. 



Thofe firft and falvcft fons of day, 

 Boldly advance in bright array ! 

 ■Now, arranp'd on either hand, 

 Lo, til' affembl'd nations Hand 1 

 A multitude in number more ^ 



Than fands upon the ocean's fliore . 

 Now th' impartial doom is giv'n ! ^ 

 Tir omnipotent afcends to heav'n . 

 Angelic hofts his throne furroutid, 

 And choirs of faints with glory crown d . 



Now th' avenging thunders roll . ^ 



The livid lightnings flafti from pole to pole . 

 The planets " from their orbits fly,^^' 

 Carried " lawlefs through the iky . 

 Nature's'agonizing frame ^ 



Is wrapt in the devouring flame . 

 "Well may the fun now fpare his rays ; 

 AH, all's one univerfal blaze 1 

 Doleful flirieks, defpairing cries. 

 Screams of horror rend the fkies 1 

 While, unmov'd, in heav'nly lays, 

 Lo, the jufl: their Saviour praife 1 

 Born to blifs, the faints arife ; — . 

 In triumph tread empyrial Ikies ; 

 While, finners, doom'd to death, defcend 

 To woes which never, never, end 1 » 



Blefledare they in God who trufl: ; 

 For God in all his ways is juft. 

 He is the upright's fure defence, 

 And juftice will to all dilpenfe. 

 Then fliail this truth be brought to light, 

 With God, " whatever is, is right." 

 ' Mighty God ! great king of kings ! 

 Thou, whofe arm falvation brings ; 

 Mercy with thy power difplay, 

 Jn that dread, decifive day ! soi 



Song. 



O SEEK not to reprefs the figh, 

 Noi- check the t^ar that fills thine eye .
