266 THE WHALEMAN'S ADVENTURES. 



" Lord ! for those days we wait ; those days 



Are in thy word foretold. 

 Fly swifter, sun and stars, and bring, 



This promised age of gold. 



" Peace, with her olive crown, shall stretch 

 Her wings from shore to shore ; 



The nations of the earth shall hear 

 The sound of war no more. 



" Beneath the influence of HIS grace, 



The barren waste shall rise, 

 With sudden green and fruits array' d 



A blooming Paradise. 



" Then shall bless' d seamen sing and tell 



Of all Emanuel's love ! 

 AND SEA. AND LAND, IN SABBATH LIGHT, 



SHALL SHINE LIKE HEAVEN ABOVE !"
