CCLX. MICAH.
Full of th'inspiring God MICAIAH sings,
Th'important Fates of Empires and of Kings.
Nations attend, and thou, O Earth, give Ear!
The Lord will from his holy Place appear,
The Hills shall melt as he descends in State,
The rifted Vales confess th'unequal Weight:
So, at the Fire does Wax in drops distil,
So falls a loud Cascade from some old hoary Hill.
Th'important Fates of Empires and of Kings.
Nations attend, and thou, O Earth, give Ear!
The Lord will from his holy Place appear,
The Hills shall melt as he descends in State,
The rifted Vales confess th'unequal Weight:
So, at the Fire does Wax in drops distil,
So falls a loud Cascade from some old hoary Hill.
For Israel's Sins Samaria's Army fled,
For Judah's Crimes is Sion captive led:
Prophet and Priest are cruel and unjust,
Yet in the Lord with vain Presumption trust:
Where Salem was they ruin'd Heaps shall show,
And Corn shall in the Streets of Sion grow:
Yet a new Race of Times and Men shall rise,
When Sion's holy Hill shall reach the Skies:
Thither shall Nations like a Deluge flow,
And to thy House, O God of Jacob! go.
The Law shall thence proceed, and circling round,
Extend to wond'ring Natures utmost Bound.
The Lord shall judge the World, while wide abroad
Strong Nations bend beneath his Iron Rod:
Their Swords to Plow-shares turn'd, themselves shall spare,
And Mother-Earth with fruitful Labour tear.
Their murd'ring Spears shall peaceful Sickles grow,
And reap the Harvest which the Sword did sow:
He to the groaning World shall Peace restore,
The Trade of Blood, and Art of War no more.
Beneath their mantling Vines supinely laid,
Or the broad Fig-trees cool refreshing Shade
Shall peaceful Nations rest, of none afraid.
For Judah's Crimes is Sion captive led:
Prophet and Priest are cruel and unjust,
Yet in the Lord with vain Presumption trust:
Where Salem was they ruin'd Heaps shall show,
And Corn shall in the Streets of Sion grow:
Yet a new Race of Times and Men shall rise,
When Sion's holy Hill shall reach the Skies:
Thither shall Nations like a Deluge flow,
And to thy House, O God of Jacob! go.
The Law shall thence proceed, and circling round,
Extend to wond'ring Natures utmost Bound.
The Lord shall judge the World, while wide abroad

And Mother-Earth with fruitful Labour tear.
Their murd'ring Spears shall peaceful Sickles grow,
And reap the Harvest which the Sword did sow:
He to the groaning World shall Peace restore,
The Trade of Blood, and Art of War no more.
Beneath their mantling Vines supinely laid,
Or the broad Fig-trees cool refreshing Shade
Shall peaceful Nations rest, of none afraid.
O Bethlehem! now despis'd and scarcely known,
Yet doom'd to share a Scepter and a Throne!
From thee the Great Messiah shall proceed,
His lov'd, his chosen Flock to rule and feed:
Who always was thro' boundless Ages past,
Whose glorious Kingdom shall to endless Ages last.
Yet doom'd to share a Scepter and a Throne!
638
His lov'd, his chosen Flock to rule and feed:
Who always was thro' boundless Ages past,
Whose glorious Kingdom shall to endless Ages last.
