From every Face he wipes off every Tear, In adamantine Chains shall Death be bound, And Hell’s grim Tyrant feel th’ eternal Wound. As the Good Shepherd tends his fleecy Care, Seeks freshest Pasture and the purest Air, Explores the lost, the wandering Sheep directs, By day o’ersees them, and by night protects, The tender Lambs he raises in his Arms, Feeds from his hand, and in his Bosom warms; Thus shall mankind his Guardian Care engage, The promis’d Father of the future Age. No more shall Nation against Nation rise, Nor ardent Warriors meet with hateful Eyes, Nor fields with gleaming Steel be cover’d o’er, The brazen Trumpets kindle Rage no more; But useless Lances into Scythes shall bend, And the broad faulchion in a plow-share end. Then Palaces shall rise; the Joyful Son Shall finish what his short-liv’d Sire begun; Their Vines a shadow to their Race shall yield, And the same hand that plowed, shall reap the field. The Swain in barren Deserts with surprize Sees Lillies spring, and sudden verdure rise; And starts amidst the thirsty wilds to hear New falls of water murm’ring in his Ear. On rifted Rocks, the Dragon’s late Abodes, The green Reed trembles, and the bulrush nods. Waste sandy Vallies, once perplexed with Thorn, The spiry Fir and shapely Box adorn; To leafless Shrubs the flow’ring Palms succeed, And od’rous Myrtle to the noisom Weed. 123
The Lambs with Wolves shall graze the verdant Mead, And Boys in flowery Bands the Tiger lead; The Steer and Lion at one Crib shall meet, And harmless Serpents lick the pilgrim’s feet. The smiling Infant in his hand shall take The crested Basilisk and speckled Snake, Pleas’d the green lustre of the Scales survey, And with their forky tongue and pointless Sting shall play. Rise, crown’d with light, Imperial Salem rise! Exalt thy tow’ry head, and lift thy Eyes! See, a long race thy spacious Courts adorn; See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding Life, impatient for the Skies! See barb’rous Nations at thy Gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy Temple bend; See thy bright altars throng’d with prostrate Kings, And heap’d with products of Sabæan Springs! For Thee Idume’s spicy Forests blow, And seeds of Gold in Ophir’s mountains glow. See Heaven its sparkling Portals wide display, And break upon Thee in a flood of Day! No more the rising Sun shall gild the Morn, Nor evening Cynthia fill her silver Horn, But lost, dissolved in Thy Superior rays, One Tide of Glory, one unclouded blaze O’erflow thy Courts: The Light himself shall shine Reveal’d, and God’s Eternal Day be Thine! The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixt His Word, His Saving Power remains: Thy Realm forever lasts, Thy own Messiah Reigns! 124
