Then, Christian, here pause o'er the line--­

On the gaud- spangled world can'st thou smile For Christ, is this Saviour of thine,

And she is that trait'ress of guile: Oh hasten to trample the foe,

Her hate and her mock'ry to brave, And thy peace as a river shall flow* Thy love as the pure ocean wave!

* Isa. xlviii. 18.
