To cheer the humble soul;
From sea to sea the rivers go,

And spread from pole to pole.

And grow on earth again;

By one blest name shall he be known

SPIRIT of the living God !

In all thy plenitude of grace,
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,

Descend on our apostate race.
2 Give tongues of fire, and hearts of love,

To preach the reconciling word; my Give power and unction from above,

Where'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light,

Confusion-order, in thy path;
Souls without strength, inspire with might;

Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 0 Spirit of the Lord ! prepare

A sinful world their God to meet :

Breathe thou abroad, like morning air,

Till hearts of stone begin to beat. mf 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh

The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glority,

Till every kindred call him-Lord.

Lost in sin's bewildering maze;р

Darkness brooding

On the face of all the earth! mf 2 Light of them who sit in error ! f Rise and shine-thy blessings bring;

Liglit-to lighten all the Gentiles !

Rise with healing in thy wing:
To thy brightness,

Let all kings and nations coine. mp 3 Let the heathen, now adoring

Idol gods of wood and stone,
Come, and, worshiping before him,

Serve the living God alone :
Let thy glory

Fill the earth, as floods the sea.

Speak the word ; at thy command,
Let the company of heralds

Spread thy name from land to land : тр

, Lord! who trust thy word, And wait the smilings of thy face, Assemble round thy mercy seat,

And plead the promise of thy grace. 2 Hast thou not said-thine only Son

Shall be a light to Gentile lands,

To open the benighted eyes,

And loose the wretched pris'ners' bands 3 From land to land, from sea to sea,

That his dominion shall extend ?
That every tongue shall call him Lord,

And every knee before him bend ?

The time to favor Zion come ;
Send forth thy heralds far and near,

And call the wandering exiles home.

Bring the bright, the glorious day ;
Send the gospel

Grant them, Lord! the glorious light; mf And, from eastern coast to western,

May the morning chase the night;
And redemption,

Freely pureliased, win the day. f" 3 Fly abroad, thou mighty gospel !

Win and conquer, never cease;

Multiply and still increase ;

Triumphs of the Gospel. 1 W10

HO are these that come from far,

Led by Jacob's rising star ?
Strangers now to Zion come,

There to seek a peaceful home.
2 Lo! they gather like a cloud,

Or as doves their windows crowd :
Zion wonders at the sight,-
Zion feels a strange delight.

3 Zion now no more shall sigh,

God will raise her glory ligh;
Ile will send a large increase, –

He will give his people peace.

See her sun, without a cloud !
God will make her joy complete,
Zion's sun shall never set.

To our believing eyes !
The earth and seas are passed away,

And the old rolling skies.

That holy, happy place,
The New-Jerusalem comes down,

Adorned with shining grace.
3 Attending angels shout for joy,

And the bright armies sing, -
* Mortals! behold the sacred seat

Of your descending King.
4 “The God of glory, down to men,

Removes his blessed abode ;-.
Men, the dear objects of his grace,

And he their loving God. dol 5 “His own soft hand shall wipe the tears > Froin every weeping eye; P And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,

And death itself shall die.”

Shall this bright hour delay ?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time!

To our Jehovah sing;

Shont to the Lord, the King.

OOK, ye saints! the day is breaking ;

Joyful times are near at hand;
God, the mighty God, is speaking

By his word in every land;
Day advances,

Darkness flies, at his command.
2 While the foe becomes more daring,

While he enters like a flood,
God, the Saviour, is preparing

Means to spread his truth abroad:
Every language

Soon shall tell the love of God.
