Salvation Poem by John Bowring

'Sing no more the song of Moses!'
Sing a loftier, louder lay!
For the time of twilight closes,
And then dawns th'eternal day.
A still nobler revelation
Beams resplendent from above,
Bearing on its wings 'Salvation,'
Scattering truth, and light, and love.


'Sing no more the song of Moses!'
Sing with a diviner breath!
Fairer flowers than Sharon's roses
Have been culled in Nazareth.
Ancient fetters have been broken;
Heaven is opened, earth is free;
A sublimer voice hath spoken,
'Come ye weary ones, to me.'
