'''The Moral Progress of Man''' | |||
Long ere the sun his beams had shed, | |||
Or ere the vaulted skies were spread, | |||
Dwelt an all sovereign God; | |||
At whose omnisic nod, | |||
Systems emerged from sable void profound, | |||
And in immeasurable spheres rolled round. | |||
Adam, placed in bliss refined, | |||
Where creation, amply stored, | |||
Kindly stored, to cheer the mind, | |||
Was the world's primeval lord. | |||
Beneath propitious bowers at rest, | |||
The lovely fair one, in his arms, | |||
Unfolding all her angel charms, | |||
Kindled high raptures in his breast. | |||
Beauty held a pleasing sway, | |||
While Euphrates gently flowed, | |||
Eden bloomed in fair array | |||
And dulcet song enlivened the abode. | |||
Happy, thrice happy state! | |||
Blessed with his Maker's smiles, | |||
Crowned with pleasure, free from toils, | |||
Not a pain his bosom soils. | |||
But hear, alas, the sequel of his fate! | |||
From feats of joy, he fell, to realms of woe! | |||
Just so the fall of heaven's audacious foe; | |||
When the Dread Sovereign on his regal throne, | |||
Swift hurled him with his impious comrades down, | |||
Down to chaotic darkness dire! | |||
Lightnings flashed around their heads, | |||
Thunders forced them to their beds, | |||
Where ceaseless vengeance feeds the raging fire. | |||
Adam, for a selfish pleasure, | |||
Forfeited his' blissful treasure. | |||
'Twas a foul fiend seduced him from those scenes, | |||
An evil minded fiend, by subtle means. | |||
Armed with a flaming sword and looks of awe, | |||
The just avengers of a broken law, | |||
Gabriel descended from above, | |||
To drive him from those scenes of love, | |||
Where music enlivened the grove. | |||
Reluctantly and slow he moves along, | |||
Still hears the melody of song, | |||
Which sweetly ravishes his ears; | |||
While fairy prospects, yet in view, | |||
Alarm his guilty mind anew; | |||
And, as he takes his last adieu, | |||
He turns, dejected, with a flood of tears.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Now under pain's severe control, | |||
Grief harrows up his sorrowing ſoul. | |||
Doomed to laborious cares and toils, | |||
To dire anxiety and woe, | |||
Deprived of blissful Eden's smiles, | |||
He bids adieu to happiness below. | |||
But hark, a Savior's voice! | |||
Mountains and hills rebound, | |||
A Let guilty man rejoice! | |||
Woods, rocks, and valleys echo back the sound, | |||
Behold, a God from heaven descends! | |||
A element God kind audience lends, | |||
Pities the plaint of woe, | |||
Subdues the infernal foe, | |||
Drops a tear on human crimes, | |||
Cheers the heart with gospel ſound, | |||
Gladdens creation round, | |||
And makes man heir to happier, happier climes. | |||
Such was the goodness oſ redeeming love, | |||
He parted from celestial choirs above, | |||
Changed a heavenly throne, | |||
For a thorny crown: | |||
And, as on Calvary's top he stood, | |||
See, see the gushing tears of blood! | |||
In mourning robes the sun was veiled; | |||
Thick darkness brooded round; | |||
The Savior to the cross was nailed; | |||
And nature trembled from its base profound. | |||
Then from his inmost soul he sighed; | |||
Rocks rent in twain; | |||
The hills were grieved, and grieved was every plain! | |||
He groaned! he died! | |||
Still solemn scenes remain unsung, | |||
Still solemn sccnes employ my faltering tongue. | |||
Swifter than a stream, | |||
Delusive as a dream, | |||
Time flies away, | |||
Makes no delay, | |||
Steals us from every stage, | |||
And brings us to old age. | |||
Hark, whence that woeful groan! | |||
Ah, from the sick man's bed! | |||
Trembling to pass through scenes unknown, | |||
He raises his disordered head, | |||
And stares distracted round! | |||
Now blackest horror and surprise | |||
Seize on his ſoul, and all his thoughts confound! | |||
See how he gasps for breath, | |||
And struggles on the brink of death! | |||
Ah, faint, and pale, he dies!}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Still lend an ear to my Pindaric strain, | |||
While the muse tempts another height to gain. | |||
Time having measured off his round of years, | |||
For judgment Christ in majesty appears. | |||
Lo, Gabriel takes the trumpet, swells the sound, | |||
The undulations wave abroad, | |||
Fill all creation's ample round, | |||
And earth and ſkies rebound, | |||
Nations, attend the bar of God! | |||
In solemn pomp they all appear; | |||
In solemn pomp with awful fear; | |||
In joy or grief their final sentence hear. | |||
Horror now seizes every guilty heart! | |||
In wild confusion they depart; | |||
With doleful yellings, agonizing groans, | |||
With thousand thousand moans. | |||
Deep plunging to the burning center, | |||
Headlong they enter, | |||
Hell's wide yawning doors. | |||
A cataract of molten fire | |||
O'er the devoted subjects pours, | |||
And the huge gates are barred till endless time expire. | |||
Hell rings with jarrings of discordant souls, | |||
And dire infernal rage the will controls. | |||
Meanwhile the saints, triumphant, wing their way | |||
To glorious mansions of unclouded day, | |||
Hymning high anthems while they move along; | |||
Sweet is the concord, rapturous is the song. | |||
Messiah leads them to the courts above, | |||
And seals them, cordial, with eternal love. | |||
Thus justice lives, and mercy never dies; | |||
God shall forever reign blessed Regent of the skies.}} | |||
