Lo. HE Promised Land ! ere close thine eyes On things of earth, look up and see Thine Israel's home, that Paradise Foreshadowing which unfolds for thee ! For thou shalt but behold afar, From Pisgah's height, yon earthly heav'n ; To thee from perils, toils, and war, A surer resting-place is given. What signs, what wonders since thy birth Has Heav'n in human sight display'd ! Portents and plagues affrighted earth Has seen, by thee evoked and stay'd. The Red Sea, smitten by thy rod, Its billows he...ap'd on either hand ; Thou, face to face, hast talk'd with God ; Thy voice proclaim'd His dread command! 54 METRICAL TRANSLATIONS, ETC. Yet must thou die, and Canaan's soil Shall never by thy feet be trod — Here cease thy glories, ends thy toil ; Hence shalt thou rise to be with God ! Thy sepulchre, in after time. Shall be unknown, but every age Shall celebrate thy name sublime ; Thou Leader, Prophet, Warrior, Sage ! And after thee no seer shall rise In Israel with thine awful power Endued — whose prayer could move the skies To mercy, or their vengeance shower.
