Description: This whole composition was first published in 1770, titled Europe, but with different words ("Let Whig and Tory all subside, and politics be dumb..."). In 1770, the first portion was in cut time (4/4), with a change to 3/2 time after the fuging section. The section before the fugue was published in 1779, in 3/2 time, without words; some time after 1781, words were added (apparently by Billings), as seen below: from Isaac Watts' Hymn 7 of 1709; this last edition was published after Billings' death, probably in 1804 (see Nathan 1977).
