made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; unto him, 

 be glory and dominion, for ever and ever! Amen." 



Stanmore Hill, 1st May, 



1812. 



" On piety, humanity is built ; 

 And on humanity, much happiness; 

 And yet still more on piety itself. 

 A soul in commerce with her God, is heaven; 

 Feels not the tumults and the shocks of life; 

 The whirls of passion, and the strokes of heart ! 



A Deity believ'd, is joy begun; 



A Deity ador'd, is joy advanced; 



A Deity belov'd, is joy matured ! 

 Each branch of piety delight inspires : 

 Faith builds a bridge from this world to the next, 

 O'er death's dark gulf, and all its horror hides : 

 Praise, the sweet exhalation of our joy, 

 That joy exalts, and makes it sweeter still : 

 Prayer ardent opens Heaven, lets down a stream 

 Of glory on the consecrated hour 

 Of man, in audience with the Deity! 

 Who worships the Great God, that instant joins 

 The first in heaven, and sets his foot on hell !" Young. 



FINIS.
