Thou of Jerusalem shalt see While as thou liv'st the good, Thou shalt thy children's children see, And peace on Israel's brood. How blessed are we in our day with the poetry of Watts, Wesley, and a host of others, who have supplied the church with beautiful soul-inspiring compositions, without fear to restrain us in using them. Ed.
If contending for our rights, given unto us by God, causes us to be slain, let us perish on the field of battle, singing as we pass out of the world, 'Sweet Freedom's song, though every word of this soul-inspiring hymn must come forth wrapped in our hearts' warm blood.

Yet even here I think there is sometimes too much of a secular character now introduced into church music.
All wreck'd and reckless now; But let the trumpet's soul-inspiring sound Wake up the brattling echoes of the woods, Then watch his kindling eye his eagle glance While thoughts of glorious fields, and battles won, And visions bright of joyous, hopeful youth Sweep o'er his soul.
