Queen of Sheba |
Ev’ry joy that wisdom knows, |
May’st thou, pious monarch, share! |
Solomon |
Ev’ry blessing Heav’n bestows, |
Be thy portion, virtuous fair! |
Queen of Sheba |
Gently flow thy rolling days. |
Solomon |
Sorrow be a stranger here. |
Both |
May thy people sound thy praise, |
Praise unbought by price of fear. |
