Thy Wonders how diffused abroad, Throughout creations frame! 2 In native white and red, The rose and lily stand: And free from pride, their beauties spread To show thy skilful hand. 3 The lark mounts up the sky, With unambitious song; And bears her Maker's praise on high Upon her artless tongue. 4 Fain would I rise and sing To my Creator too; Fain would my heart adore my King, And give him praises due.

Thomas Commuck

1804 - 1855 Composer of "JERSEY" Thomas Commuck, a Narragansett Indian, was born January 18, 1804 at Charlestown, Rhode Island. His father died while he was a child. At the time of Commuck’s birth, the Narragansetts had, by and large, converted to Christianity and adopted English as their language. English was Commuck’s native language, and he only learned six words of the Narragansett tongue. In 1825 Commuck moved to Brothertown, New York. The remainder of his life was spent with the Brothertown Indians. In 1831 Commuck moved to Wisconsin along with other Brothertown people who were relocating there.
