HELord from heav'n beholds the juft,
With favourable eyes;

And when diftrefs'd, his gracious ear.
Is open to their cries.

To cut them off, and from the earth
Blot out their hated name.

And contrite fpirit fave.

Beyond the fparkling fky extends.

With what affurance fhould the juft
Thy sheltering wings their refuge make,
And faints to thy protection trust.

To banquet on thy love's repaft;
And drink, as from a fountain's head,
Of joys that fhall for ever last.
