 | A paraphrase on the Book of Job |  |
His Heav'nly Doctrines on the Nations round
Shall fall as dropping Rain upon the Ground
Attentive Monarchs with a greedy Ear
Shall all his wise Divine Instructions hear.
They'll with profound Humility receive
The Oracles and Counsels he shall give.
No more their impious Tongues shall him condemn,
No more Religion or its God blaspheme.
His Godlike Wisdom they shall all adore,
And joyful Tydings hear they never heard before.
Tydings that new and wondrous Things assert,
That God the Nations will at length convert
And of his Kingdom make the Heathen World a part.
Shall fall as dropping Rain upon the Ground
278
Shall all his wise Divine Instructions hear.
They'll with profound Humility receive
The Oracles and Counsels he shall give.
No more their impious Tongues shall him condemn,
No more Religion or its God blaspheme.
His Godlike Wisdom they shall all adore,
And joyful Tydings hear they never heard before.
Tydings that new and wondrous Things assert,
That God the Nations will at length convert
And of his Kingdom make the Heathen World a part.
