But he in camps his life hath led,
To all the toils of battle bred;
Beside his strength:--The youth rejoins,
Jehovah's pow'r the brighter shines
When great designs his spirit breeds,
And infants dare immortal deeds.
The track of war I never trod.
But still have felt th' inspiring God
For when I watch'd my fleecy care,
I slew a lion and a bear,
