Containing HYMNS coinpofed by feveral members of the church
  called Shakers-a few of which are given, as they are explana-
  tory of their faith; and feveral upon fubjeds entirely new.



The Go/pci from England to America; it: firj ep.ing and iareafe brren.
      THE gofpel, clear as the noon-day,
      - T1  From England to Alnerica,
      On eagle's wings did foaraway,
      Unto the place appointed.

      Then came to pafs, as the prophet fad,
      My church I will convey away,
      The wildernefs fhall be her ftay,-
      Until the time appointed.

      3 And when the time was fully come,
      Swift as the rays of morning fun
      The gofpel-fire began to run,
      Which brought on Satan's trial.

      4 At Watervliet, that blifsful feat,
      From whence the law went forth to greet,
      With the laft trumpet to repeat
      Salvation found in Zion.

      5 Now confternation feized on all!
      They faw their towers muft furely fall;
      The great, the mighty and the fmall,
      Began to quake and quiver.

      6 Some unto whom the found did come,
      Knew that it was the morning fun;
      They feiz'd the kingdom as they run,
      Which kingdom Ragda for cvcr.
