Full Lyrics
Applaud so great a guest, celestial pow'rs.
Who now resides with you, but once was ours.
Yet let invidious earth no more reclaim
Her shortliv'd fav'rite and her chiefest fame
Complaining that so prematurely died
Goodnature's pleasure and devotion's pride.
Died? No, he lives while yonder organ’s sound
And sacred echoes to the choir rebound.
