Tho Egypt's Drudges you have been Your Armies Wings shall shine more bright Than Doves in golden Sun-shine seen Or silver'd o'er with paler Light 14. 'T was so when God's Almighty Hand O'er scatter'd Kings the Conquest won Our Troops drawn up on Iordan's Strand High Salmon's glitt'ring Snow out-shone 15.

The whole remaining Stock of Life Which he to me has lent Shall therefore in his Service be With grateful Duty spent 10 11. In God I trusted and of him In greatest straits did boast For in my Flight all hopes of Aid From faithless Man were lost 12 13. Then what Return to him shall I For all his Goodness make● I 'll praise his Name and with glad Zeal The Cup of Blessing ●ake 14 15. The Vows I made to God I 'll pay In all his People's sight Because by him his Servant's blood Was never counted light 16.
