To conclude the Service

At length War's sanguine scenes are o'er, Her dire alarms are heard no more: Sweet PEACE descends with balmy wings And heav'n-born INDEPENDENCE brings; While FREEDOM comes with all her train To bless COLUMBIA'S happy plain. Hail! Heav'n descended Guests, all hail! Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!

Ruler of Kings! Thy mandate shook The fated Monarch's throne, and took The brightest jewel from his crown, When Britain sunk beneath thy frown. Thy wisdom the rude Statesman taught, And by thy aid the Soldier fought. Hail, Sov'reign Wisdom! Goodness, hail! Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!

Oh shed thy pow'rful influence down, Form the NEW STATES to high renown; Let Justice lift alost her hand, And purest Virtue fill the land. Let Men thy pow'r with fear adore, Till suns and moons revolve no more. Hail, train of Heav'n! bright mantled, hail! Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!

Public devotion! Glorious flame, That gave to Rome immortal fame! Religion chief! Angelic maid! In ev'ry heart, thy empire spread, Oh! hither come, our breasts inspire, And fill us with thy sacred fire. Hail, pure ethereal graces, hail! Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!

Her darling SON! Columbia's boast! Envy and dread of Albion's host! Circled with honor's endless wreaths— At last his patriot falchion sheaths. Celestial troops, now bending low, Crown the Deliv'rer bind his brow. Hail, Washington! Deliv'rer, hail! Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!

Now let the loud, shrill clarion play Triumphant peals, proclaim the DAY! And joyful voices rend the sky, With glory be to GOD on high! Good will and peace on earth to MEN, While angels sound the loud AMEN. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! &c.
