[Tongues at first were multiplied]

The multitude came together, and were, &c. —ii. 6.

Tongues at first were multiplied,
Proud aspiring worms to' abase,
Rebels to confound, divide,
Wide disperse the' audacious race;
God by different languages
Baffled their gigantic power,
Bade their impious project cease,
Stopp'd the heaven-invading tower.
Tongues are multiplied again,
(While our God in love comes down,)
To collect the sons of men
Reconcile the world in one,
Make us each with each agree,
Pride the cause of strife remove,

Teach our hearts humility,
Join us all in faith and love.
