We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.—John, i. 41.

The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay,

Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away;

But, fixed, His word, His saving power remains;

Thy realm for ever lasts, thy own Messiah reigns.

Pope.

Messiah comes!—Let furious discord cease;

Be peace on earth before the Prince of Peace!

Disease and anguish feel His blest control,

And howling fiends release the tortured soul!
