'Zio The sinners that stray ; And, O, let a nation be born in a day !

Thou only art able to bless, And make the glad nations obey, And bid the dire enmity cense, And bow the whole world to thy sway 4 Come then to thy servants again, Who long thy appearing to know ; Thy quiet and peaceable reign In mercy establish below : All sorrow before thee shall fly,
