Seite 402 - What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle ; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile ? In vain, with lavish kindness, The gifts of God are strewn ; The heathen, in his blindness, Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we, to men benighted, The lamp of life deny ? Salvation, O ! salvation ! The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name.
