AIR,

On mighty plumes to dazzling height,

The eagle springs :

And towards the flaming orb of light,
Pursues his swift his dauntless flight:

The lark at morn his sprightly welcome sings.
The turtle cooing, wooes his feather'd love :

In ev'ry blush, in ev'ry grove,

The nightingale's sweet notes resound;
No grief has learnt her breast to wound,
Nor taught her a sad song to raise,
From such enchanting lays.

NATIONAL GERMAN HYMN.-HAYDN.

(The words written for the Second Yorkshire Festival, by John Crosse, Esq.)"

Lord of heaven, and earth, and ocean!
Hear us from thy bright abode,

While our hearts, with deep devotion,
Own their great and gracious God

Source, reveal'd in sacred story,

Of eacle good and perfect thing :

Chor. Lord of life, and light, and glory!

Guide thy Church, and guard our King.

Health and every needful blessing,

Are thy bounteous gifts alone;

Comforts undeserved possessing ne
Bend we low before thy throne:

[ocr errors]

While the babe, the youth, the hoary,
Their united, tribute, bring:

Chor. Lord of life, and light, and glory !
Shield our Isle, and save our King,

Thee, with humble adoration,

Laud we, now, for mercies past;
till to this most favour'd nation,
May those mercies ever last!
Britons, then, through future story,

With their prayers shall praises sing:
Chor. Lord of life, and light, and glory!
Bless thy People, bless their King.

SONG.-Judas Maccabeus.-HANDEL.

MR. BRAHAM.

My arms!-Against this Gorgias will I go-
The Idumean Governor shall know

How vain, how ineffectual his design,
While Rage his leader, and Jehovah mine.

AIR.

Sound an alarm.-Your silver trumpets sound,
And call the brave, and only brave, around.
Who listeth follow;-To the field again.—
Justice with courage is a thousand men.

CHORUS.

We hear, we hear the pleasing, dreadful call;
And follow thee to conquest;-If to fall;
For laws, religion, liberty, we fall.

LUTHER'S HYMN.

MADAME CATALANI.

GREAT GOD WHAT DO I SEE AND HEAR!

The end of things created!

The Judge of mankind does appear,

On clouds of glory seated.

The trumpet sounds, the graves restore

The dead that they contain'd before;

Prepare, my soul, to meet him.

CHORUS. Samson.-HANDel.

Fix'd in his everlasting seat,

Jehovah rules the world in state;

His thunders roar, heav'n shakes, and earth's aghast; The stars with deep amaze,

Remain in steadfast gaze:

Jehovah is of Gods the first and last.
