W HILE Soldiers talk of wars and battles fought; While Sailors speak of wealth from India brought; -- While Misers praise their heaps of shining ore, Let Christians join their Saviour to adore. -- Christ is the Woman's Seed, divinely led To tread down Satan, and to bruise his head ; -- To free us from the curse, that we may live, And give us all the blessings Heaven can give ! He is the Shiloh, sent us from above, Our slavish fear, and bondage to remove ; -- From vice our erring footsteps to reclaim, And thus to prove the virtue of his name. Christ is the Tree, whence ev'ry saint receives New life and vigour from its healing leaves : No one can death's eternal sorrows meet, Who of its fruit shall freely take, and eat. He is the Ark, which, from the raging deep, Did Noah and his household safely keep ; Nor can another bark be found to save From death's high-swelling and destructive wave. He is the Ladder Jacob saw of old, At whose high top the heavens in motion roll'd: By this mast all ascend, who wish to rise And scale the lofty summit of the skies. // Christ is the Paschal Lamb, for safety slain, Whose blood secures the soul from mortal pain. Ye who have felt sin's agonizing wound, , u, Know that in him your only help is found : . t While sighing in the arms of death you lie, .. On him -- The Brazen Serpent -- fix your eye. To him, your woes -- your e'ry ill make known, And he shall heal y . m -- -liy a look alone ! Christ is the Manna, coming from above, . . , f. The fruit of mercy, and of boundless love i ' f Haste
