Excerpt from Compton Audley, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Hands Not Hearts
To Thee, to Thee,
On this appointed day shall thanks ascend,
That Thou hast brought our warfare to an end.
Oh, 'tis a goodly Ordinance! the sight,
Though sprung from bleeding war, is one of pure delight.
Bless thou the hour, or ere the hour arrive,
When a whole people shall kneel down in prayer,
And at one moment, in one spirit strive,
With lip and heart, to tell their gratitude
For thy protecting care,
Their solemn joy, praising the Eternal Lord
For tyranny subdued,
And for the sway of equity renewed,
For liberty confirmed, and peace restored.
Wordsworth.
