A HYMN OF PRAISE FOR THREE GREAT SALVATIONS: THE LANDING WILLIAM III by ISAAC WATTS

First Line: BUT LO! THE GREAT DELIVERER SAILS
Last Line: A HYMN OF PRAISE FOR
Subject(s): WILLIAM III, KING OF ENGLAND (1650-1702);
BUT lo! the great Deliverer sails,
Commission'd from Jehovah's hand,
And smiling seas, and wishing gales,
Convey him to the longing land.

Brigades of angels lin'd the way,
And guarded William to his throne;
There, ye celestial warriors, stay,
And make his palace like your own.

Then, mighty God! the earth shall know
And learn the worship of the sky;
Angels and Britons join below,
To raise their hallelujahs high.
