To the Sandwich Islands.
Hail, Island* of the distant innin !
Whose towering mountains rise,
And through the solemn clouds maintain
Communion with the skies—
No more shall dark, polluted ntea
Your readied realm debase,
Nor heathen ignorance and vice
Enslave yourriling race,
For aweet rhtirrh hells o'er clilTand dale
Like angel warning* elide.
And knowledge Tor your children flows
A trer, translucent tide.
And lo ! with mission zeal inspired
Ye hreathe Salvation's sound,
And to the Had Marquesas send
The gospel ye have found. %
And hang on Microntsian skiea
Thatriymbol ol the Crow,
By which to heavenly Joys we hie
And count the world an dross.
Though many a league of dnrk, blue eca
Divides us strand from strand,
Bo that we see not fare to face
Nor grasp the greeting hand ;
Yet Christ's dear love hath made ua one,
And by its blessed chain
The fervent prayer for you shall rise,
Isles of the dintrtnt main.
