[Jesus, from Thy holy place]

The Lord dwelleth on high, &c. —xxxiii. 5, 6.

Jesus, from Thy holy place,
Thy dwelling in the sky,
Fill our church with righteousness,
Our want of faith supply;
Faith our strong salvation be,
And godliness with all its power
'Stablish our prosperity,
Till time shall be no more.
Let Thy Spirit of grace o'erflow
Our re-converted land,
Let the least and greatest know,
And bow to Thy command;

Wisdom pure, religious fear
Our king's peculiar treasure prove,
Bless'd with piety sincere,
Inspired with humble love.
