HYMN 44. Desert Places rejoyce: Or, Babel's downfall; the Snare broken and we are Escaped.

Let England, and God's Sion nowrejoyce and sing Christ's Praise,
On whom the Gospel Sun doth shine,
and send it's glorious Rays.

2
Sing to the Lord, sing a new Song,praise him all ends of th'Earth.
O let this Isle of the great Sea,
his Glory great fet forth.
3
Let th'Wilderness and Desert place,lift up to God their Voice;
And all that hear of thy great Acts,
in thee always rejoyce.
4
Lord, we thy Glory will declare,and Praise Thee in this Land,
For still to us thou art a Friend,
and up for us doth stand.
5
Blessed are they who so do Hear,that for the time to come
They are prepar'd, and ready be,
before their dismal Doom:
6
God quickly will awake and rise,ye Saints rejoyce therefore;
Great Babel and all Enemies,
shall e'er long be no more.
7
In vain are all their Hellish Plots,thy Name, O Lord, we Praise;
Our King yet Lives; we Saved are,
let's Praise Thee all our Days.
