BUT lo! the great Deliverer sails, Commission'd from Jehovah's hand, And smiling seas, and wishing gales, Convey him to the longing land. Brigades of angels lin'd the way, And guarded William to his throne; There, ye celestial warriors, stay, And make his palace like your own. Then, mighty God! the earth shall know And learn the worship of the sky; Angels and Britons join below, To raise their hallelujahs high.
