Its offspring views. Messiah reigns Supreme,
And all the tribes of various-peopled earth
One family compose, one Father claim,

The Universal Parent, Source of all.

Now the seventh Angel, arm'd with wrath
divine,

Has emptied his last vial on the earth;

From hence, the curse exhausted, heaven ap-
peas'd;

With eye propitious, and paternal care,

The Sire Supreme his various race shall view;
And all his long-perverted Works restor❜d,
In bliss, the smile benignant shall enjoy.

Then by the voice of the seventh trumpet
rous'd,

The heavenly choirs shall hail with glad acclaim;
The rescu'd kingdoms of this world become
The kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ,
Anointed King, propitious Prince of Peace!
Then he his majesty and prosperous power
Assuming, soon shall vanquish every foe;
Evil extinct thro' Nature's wide domain,
His reign shall with increasing bliss extend,
His sempiternal empire know no bounds.
Behold the tracts of sea, the earth's glad orb,
The heaven's high arch, the boundless realms of

space;

See all exult to greet the glorious age,

When universal peace and bliss shall reign,
And God supreme in all his works rejoice.

At this blest dawn, as at Creation's birth, The Morning Stars in concert glad shall sing, And all the bright immortal Sons of Light Shall shout for joy; till hallelujahs high

From heaven to earth resound, from earth to heaven.

Auspicious era! Glorious Scenes arise!

Supreme, Omnipotent, Eternal King,

The time arrives, assume thy power and reign.

FINIS.

The attentive reader may perhaps observe some inaccuracies in pointing, in the marks of quotation, and in the use of italics; but not of importance to be particularly mentioned. For some seeming tautologies towards the end, an apology will be found in the Preliminary Observations.
