Verse 3.

Tuesday.

True Son of God! Eternal Light, Beam'd from the Glory of Thy Father's Throne! Thee trembling Hell is forc'd to own, Triumphet o'er the Realms of Night. How smil'd th'Apostate, when he sayd, The Mystick River from Thy wounded side! How the Devouring Lyon stalk'd! With what insulting Pace he walk'd! Till waken'd from his Downy Sleep, The Holy Lamb redeem'd the Sheep. Death mourn'd to see his own sad Doom so nigh, Condemn'd, by his own Dart, to dye.

Cho.
