Once Happy Isle, I grieve at thy condition:
Where's thy Repentance? where is thy Contrition▪
Thou hast been counted our Emanuel's Land,
The Gospel seems on Tip-toe now to stand,
To bid thee farewell: Must thy Sun so soon
To bid thee farewel: Must thy Sun so soon
Be set! before it did approach to Noon!
