Read it through once

For on him each new day laid command, every tyrannous hour To confront, or confirm or make smooth some dread issue of power. To deliver true judgment aright at the instant unaided In the strict, level, ultimate phrase that allowed or dissuaded; To foresee, to allay, to avert from us perils unnumbered; To stand guard at our gates when he guessed that our watchman had slumbered; To win time, to turn hate, to woo folly to service, and mightily schooling His strength to the use of his nations; to rule as not ruling. These were the works of our King; earth's peace is the proof of them. God gave him great works to fulfil and to use the behoof of them.
