Daniel Read - Happy City - текст песни (слова)

Happy the city where their sons,
 Like pillars round a palace set,
 And daughters, bright as polished stones,
 Give strength and beauty to the state.
 
 Happy the country where the sheep,
 Cattle, and corn, have large increase;
 Where men securely work or sleep,
 Nor sons of plunder break the peace.
 
 Happy the nation thus endowed,
 But more divinely blest are those
 On whom the all-sufficient God
 Himself with all His grace bestows.
