On the Rev.
G reat is the work--the cause a glorious one,
E ’en to proclaim GOD’s everlasting son:
O h may he all your faithful labours bless,
R eward your toils, and give you great success;
G uard you from harm, your useful life prolong,
E ver inspire and animate your song.
R eligion to promote is your delight,
O h worthy champion of the PRINCE OF LIGHT:
B old in the glorious cause of righteousness,
E ach word, each action does your zeal express:--
R ever’d by all--when this frail life is o’er
T o joys immortal shall your spirit soar,
S hall sing _Redeeming love_ for evermore.
