This fine and stimulating lyric is Doddridge in another tone. Instead of singing hope to the 584 / 520 individual, he sounds a note of encouragement to the church.
Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known;
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.
* * * * * *
God from on high has heard thy prayer;
His hand thy ruins shall repair,
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.
