7 Happy the city, where its sons,
Like pillars round a palace set,
And daughters bright as polish'd stones
Give strength and beauty to the state.
8 Happy the land in culture dress'd,
Whose flocks and corn have large incrase;
Where men securely work or rest,
Nor sons of plunder break their peace.
9 Happy the nation thus endow'd,
But more divinely blest are those,
On whom the all-sufficient God
Himself with all his grace bestows.
