HYMN. Sung by the Children of Christ's Hospital, at
the Entry of KING GEORGE into London, 1714.
I
Hear us, O GOD, this joyful Day!
Whole Nations join their Voice,
To Thee united Thanks to pay,
And in thy Strength rejoice.
II
For led by Thee, O King of Kings!
Our Sovereign George we see;
Thy Hand the Royal Blessing brings,
He comes, he reigns, by Thee!
III
Plenteous of Grace, pour from above
Thy Favours on his Head;
Truth, Mercy, Righteousness, and Love,
As Guards around him spread.
IV
With Length of Days, and Glory crown'd,
With Wealth and fair Increase,
Let him Abroad be far renown'd,
Still blest at Home with Peace.
