Laus Patriæ Celestis.

Where the Lowly will breathe in thy Æther divine,
And thy Stars on the Sinful in Whiteness will shine.
For here is the Battle, but there the Reward,
And Refreshment and Peace in the Towers of the Lord;
When, the Mysteries solved and the Glories expressed,
They'll forever repose in their Sabbath of Rest.
The Hebrew from Egypt will travel forth free,
And find in yon Canaan a long Jubilee;
Will dwell in that quiet and luminous Land,

With Throngs of the Ransomed of Israel's Band;
