And spread abroad God’s favorite plan,

To elevate his creature, man!

To you He grants the noblest place,

The hegemony of the race!

Without a blush accept your role,

And act your part with all your soul,

Nor through base fear of flunkey scorn,

Veil your fair face that rivals morn;

Its beauty let the world behold;

Sublimely grand, serenely bold;
