Excerpt from The Harp of Prophecy: A Briton's Venture in Canada in 1823, In Memoriam The Harp of Prophecy Welcome the sound which greet the sinner's ear, Destruction his award, his prospect woe, Chafed with departed bliss, and quick with fear, Clouds lower in fury on the scene below, Hopeless he bows to Heaven's decree, when lo, Prophecy's strange Harp in soothing tone Awakens hope, relieves the troubled brow, Earth, though with thistles barbed, and sorrows sown, Man's fall shall see avenged, his victor overthrown. Oh, Harp of Prophecy, divinely given To cheer the the gloom of man's benighted way, How tangible the faith, which touching heaven, Illumes our morbid darkness into day, High swell the hallowed strains, until a ray Of hope inspires the world, until the fold Of Israel's Shepherd claims all gone astray. Life's ills by all endured, as one of old, The Invisible in view, and in His book enrolled. Moved by its symphonies did Abel bring The accepted lamb, thus Enoch walked with God, And Noah could in holy triumph sing, Safe in the ark, a world beneath the flood. Precious those strains, assuring to the good. See Abram's faith soar nobly o'er its test, Lay his own idol on the waiting wood, In figure from the grave again he pressed More fond the promised child, through whom the earth is bless About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
