From thee our matchlefs bleffings fpring; Th' extended trade, the fruitful fkies, The raptures liberty bestows, Th' eternal joys the gospel shows, All from thy boundless goodness rise.

Femn goodnes Long as the moon her course fhall run, Or man behold the circling fun, O ftill may GOD in Britain reign; Still crown her counfels with fuccess, With peace and joy her borders blefs, And all her facred rights maintain.
