 | The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys |  |
To cure the pangs that nerve-torne nations feel,
A bleeding world with better balm to heal;
Come, emanation from the King of Kings,
Religion! come, with healing on thy wings!
O'er wilds of western waves ascend our strand,
Send forth thy saving virtues round our land!
Remit thy influence mild through every clime!
Wide as existence, durable as time,
Make earth's far corners feel thy sacred flame,
And man adore th' UNUTTERABLE NAME!
A bleeding world with better balm to heal;
Come, emanation from the King of Kings,
Religion! come, with healing on thy wings!
O'er wilds of western waves ascend our strand,
Send forth thy saving virtues round our land!
Remit thy influence mild through every clime!
Wide as existence, durable as time,

And man adore th' UNUTTERABLE NAME!
