I	A

IMAGINATION ne'er before content	B
But aye ascending restless in her pride	C
From all that martial feats could yield	D
To her desires or to her hopes present	E
Stooped to the Victory on that Belgic field	D
Achieved this closing deed magnificent	E
And with the embrace was satisfied	C
Fly ministers of Fame	F
With every help that ye from earth and heaven may claim	F
Bear through the world these tidings of delight	G
Hours Days and Months 'have' borne them in the sight	G
Of mortals hurrying like a sudden shower	H
That landward stretches from the sea	I
The morning's splendours to devour	H
But this swift travel scorns the company	I
Of irksome change or threats from saddening power	H
'The shock is given the Adversaries bleed'	G
'Lo Justice triumphs Earth is freed '	-
Joyful annunciation it went forth	J
It pierced the caverns of the sluggish North	J
It found no barrier on the ridge	K
Of Andes frozen gulphs became its bridge	K
The vast Pacific gladdens with the freight	G
Upon the Lakes of Asia 'tis bestowed	G
The Arabian desert shapes a willing road	G
Across her burning breast	G
For this refreshing incense from the West	G
Where snakes and lions breed	G
Where towns and cities thick as stars appear	L
Wherever fruits are gathered and where'er	H
The upturned soil receives the hopeful seed	G
While the Sun rules and cross the shades of night	G
The unwearied arrow hath pursued its flight	G
The eyes of good men thankfully give heed	G
And in its sparkling progress read	G
Of virtue crowned with glory's deathless meed	G
Tyrants exult to hear of kingdoms won	M
And slaves are pleased to learn that mighty feats are done	M
Even the proud Realm from whose distracted borders	N
This messenger of good was launched in air	O
France humbled France amid her wild disorders	N
Feels and hereafter shall the truth declare	O
That she too lacks not reason to rejoice	P
And utter England's name with sadly plausive voice	P
	-
II	A
	-
O genuine glory pure renown	Q
And well might it beseem that mighty Town	Q
Into whose bosom earth's best treasures flow	R
To whom all persecuted men retreat	G
If a new Temple lift her votive brow	S
High on the shore of silver Thames to greet	G
The peaceful guest advancing from afar	T
Bright be the Fabric as a star	T
Fresh risen and beautiful within there meet	G
Dependence infinite proportion just	G
A Pile that Grace approves and Time can trust	G
With his most sacred wealth heroic dust	G
	-
III	A
	-
But if the valiant of this land	G
In reverential modesty demand	G
That all observance due to them be paid	G
Where their serene progenitors are laid	G
Kings warriors high souled poets saint like sages	U
England's illustrious sons of long long ages	V
Be it not unordained that solemn rites	W
Within the circuit of those Gothic walls	X
Shall be performed at pregnant intervals	Y
Commemoration holy that unites	W
The living generations with the dead	G
By the deep soul moving sense	Z
Of religious eloquence	A2
By visual pomp and by the tie	G
Of sweet and threatening harmony	I
Soft notes awful as the omen	M
Of destructive tempests coming	B2
And escaping from that sadness	C2
Into elevated gladness	C2
While the white robed choir attendant	G
Under mouldering banners pendant	G
Provoke all potent symphonies to raise	C2
Songs of victory and praise	C2
For them who bravely stood unhurt or bled	G
With medicable wounds or found their graves	C2
Upon the battle field or under ocean's waves	C2
Or were conducted home in single state	G
And long procession there to lie	G
Where their sons' sons and all posterity	I
Unheard by them their deeds shall celebrate	G
	-
IV	-
	-
Nor will the God of peace and love	-
Such martial service disapprove	-
He guides the Pestilence the cloud	G
Of locusts travels on his breath	D2
The region that in hope was ploughed	G
His drought consumes his mildew taints with death	D2
He springs the hushed Volcano's mine	E2
He puts the Earthquake on her still design	E2
Darkens the sun hath bade the forest sink	F2
And drinking towns and cities still can drink	F2
Cities and towns 'tis Thou the work is Thine	E2
The fierce Tornado sleeps within thy courts	C2
He hears the word he flies	C2
And navies perish in their ports	C2
For Thou art angry with thine enemies	C2
For these and mourning for our errors	C2
And sins that point their terrors	C2
We bow our heads before Thee and we laud	G
And magnify thy name Almighty God	G
But Man is thy most awful instrument	G
In working out a pure intent	G
Thou cloth'st the wicked in their dazzling mail	G2
And for thy righteous purpose they prevail	G2
Thine arm from peril guards the coasts	C2
Of them who in thy laws delight	G
Thy presence turns the scale of doubtful fight	G
Tremendous God of battles Lord of Hosts	C2
	-
V	-
	-
Forbear to Thee	-
Father and Judge of all with fervent tongue	H2
But in a gentler strain	I2
Of contemplation by no sense of wrong	J2
Too quick and keen incited to disdain	I2
Of pity pleading from the heart in vain	I2
TO THEE TO THEE	-
Just God of christianised Humanity	-
Shall praises be poured forth and thanks ascend	G
That thou hast brought our warfare to an end	G
And that we need no second victory	-
Blest above measure blest	G
If on thy love our Land her hopes shall rest	G
And all the Nations labour to fulfil	G2
Thy law and live henceforth in peace in pure good will	G2
