Blow soft o’er Ceylon’s isle,
Though every prospect pleases,

The gifts of God are strewn

And now through the darkest of earth’s gloomy
region,
The wheels of his chariot are rolling sublime;
His banners unfolding his own true religion,
Dispelling the errors of time.

Behold a bri ht angel from heaven descending,

High lifting Tris trum )et, hosannas to raise;

Hail SON of the [fig (33!, let every knee bending,
Adore thee with offerings of praise.

Thy sword and thy buckler shall save and
deliver,

The poor and the needy from foes that assail;

Thy bow and thy quiver shall vanquish for ever
The prince and the legions of hell.

Ride on in thy greatness, thou conquering
Saviour,
Let thousands of thousands submit to thy reign-—
Acknowledge thy goodness, entrvat for thy favor,
And follow thy glorious train.

Ride on! till the compass of thy great dominion
The globe shall encircle from pole unto pole;
And mankind cemented with friendship and
union,
Obey thee With heart and with soul.

Then loud shall ascend from each sanctified
nation, ‘

The voice of thanksgiving, the chorus of praise;

And Heaven shall echo the song of salvation,

In rich and melodious praise.

A new and nobler song.

And grace surrounds his throne.

Joy through the earth be seen;
Let cities shine in bright array,
And fields in cheerful green.

To show the world his righteousness,
And send his truth abroad.

Their groans and their cries, their tears and their

To range the deep wilds where the counoil fires ,
