A HYMN FOR A FAST-DAY




Then Abram, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And, with a humble fervent prayer,
For guilty Sodom sued;


With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petition crowned!
The Lord would spare, if in the place
Ten righteous men were found.


And could a single holy soul
So rich a boon obtain?
Great God, and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?


Columbia, guilty as she ia,
Her numerous saints can boast;
And now their fervent prayers ascend,
And can those prayers be lost?


Are not the righteous dear to thee
Now as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed
Gomorrah in its crimes?


Still are we thine, we bear thy name,
Here yet is thy abode;
Long has thy presence blessed our land;
Forsake us not, O God.
