[So Christianitys enlivening light]
So Christianitys enlivening lightDispersd the mistery with smiling ray
Of Ignorance & superstitions night
That gastly veild religions early day
Such light in Jesu's passion we [OMITTED]
He died & sufferd that we might be blest
& death & hells grim terrors he subdues
He made the grave a wishd for place of rest
