A THANKSGIVING HYMN, for New Encranp, ‘ 1EW ENGLAND, riife thy grateful Voice, Thy fweewelt Notes prepare. In Songs to Heavew’s Almighty Kixg, The God of’Pucc and War. 1 *Twas He our pious Fathers led, To fcek a Savage Land; And Heav’n born Liberty that fl:d A Tyrant's fierce Command. 11, His Providence was ftill their Guide, Csft ona wintry Shore ; 4 Whilft a fierce Oc:ean rag’d b:hind, And fiercer Men before. ) 7/ He turn’d their Indian Foes to Flight, Or ftruck their Spirits dead, In wild amaz=, their Thoufands fell, Or to their Mountains flgd. V. "T'was His benignant Smiles that cheer’d, And lead them through their Toil 3 His lib’ral Hand their Labour blefs'd, And made their Auumn Smile. \/ He gave our populous Towns to rife, With thoufand Fold Increale; Our Defarts into Gardens turn’d ; - Our Navies Fil’'d the Scas. VII. Louis, beheld the rifing State Endignant, and 'defign’d With Chains of Slavery sand Rome, Our happy. Coafts to bind. VIII. But God appear’d for our Defence, Our Foes were turn’d to flight, Amberft and Wolfe, “twas be infpird With all their dreadful Might. 1X In vain their fubtile Arts of War ; Their Long extended Chain Of Forts, and War like Magazines, Prove vain when God defends. Now o'er the darken’d Wefern® World, May that bright Sun arile, : Who dying, conquer’d to regain, For Man his native Skies. XI.
