 | The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys |  |
Ancient of days! unutterable name!
At whose command all worlds from nothing came;
Beneath whose frown the nations cease to be—
Preserve, as thou hast made, our nation free!
To guard from harms send forth thy hallow'd band!
Be thou a wall of fire around our land,
Above the frail assaults of flesh and sense!
And in the midst our glory and defence!
At whose command all worlds from nothing came;
Beneath whose frown the nations cease to be—
Preserve, as thou hast made, our nation free!
To guard from harms send forth thy hallow'd band!
Be thou a wall of fire around our land,
Above the frail assaults of flesh and sense!
And in the midst our glory and defence!
