100. TRIUMPH OF THE GOSPEL.

O, blessed day, when through the world below

Jesus shall reign the prince of love and peace,

For then shall men their angry contests cease,

And never more appear in hostile show;—

The sword transform'd into th' unbloody plow

And spear to pruning hook for thriving trees.

The kid lies down with leopard at his ease,

And grizzly bear feeds harmless with the cow.
