Full Lyrics
Fell rage and black despair possessed
With horrid sway the monarch's breast,
When David with celestial fire
Struck, struck the sweet persuasive lyre
Soft gliding down his ravish'd ears,
The healing sounds dispel his cares,
Despair and rage, despair and rage at once are gone,
And peace and hope resume the throne,
And peace and hope,
And peace and hope resume the throne.
