Solomon |
Almighty pow’r, who rul’st the earth and skies, |
And bade gay order from confusion rise; |
Whose gracious hand reliev’d Thy slave distress’d, |
With splendour cloath’d me, and with knowledge bless’d; |
Thy finish’d temple with Thy presence grace, |
And shed Thy heav’nly glories o’er the place. |
