For Millennial Days.

END forth thy word, and let it fly, Armed with thy Spirit's power; Ten thousands shall confess its sway, And bless the saving hour!

2 Beneath the influence of thy grace
The barren waste shall rise:

With sudden green and fruits arrayed—
A blooming paradise.

3 Peace, with her olive crown, shall stretch
Her wings from shore to shore;

The nations of the earth shall hear

The sound of war no more.

4 Lord! for those days we wait: those days
Are in thy word foretold:

Fly swifter, sun and stars, and bring
This promised age of gold.

o 5 Amen! with joy divine, let earth's
Unnumbered myriads cry!
Amen! with joy divine, let heaven's
Unnumbered choirs reply.

Restoration and Glory of the Church.

81. the sacred herald stands;
the mountain's top appearing,

Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion long in hostile lands.
Drooping captive !—

God himself will loose thy bands.

-2 God, thy God, will now restore thee:
He himself appears thy friend:

All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end

Great deliverance

Zion's King vouchsafes to send

3 Enemies no more shall trouble,

All thy wrongs shall be redressed:

"For thy shame thou shalt have double,"
In thy Maker's favour blessed:
All thy conflicts-

End in one eternal rest.

Restoration of Israel.

AUGHTER of Zion! from the dust
Exalt thy fallen head;

Again in thy Redeemer trust;
He calls thee from the dead.

s 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength,
Thy beautiful array:

The day of freedom dawns at length,
The Lord's appointed day.

-3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge,
And send thy heralds forth:

Say to the south, "Give up thy charge,
And keep not back, O north."

s 4 They come, they come-thine exiled bands,
Where'er they rest or roam,

Have heard thy voice in distant lands,
And hasten to their home.

Spread of the Gospel.

VES! we trust the day is breaking;
Joyful times are near at hand;

God-the mighty God is speaking

By his Word, in every land;
When he chooses,

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.

3 God of Jacob, high and glorious, Let thy people see thy hand:

Let the gospel be victorious,

Through the world-in every land;

Then shall idols

Perish, Lord-at thy command.

HYMN 388. H. M. Darwell's.

ZION, tune thy voice,

And raise thy hands on high;

Tell all the earth thy joys,

And boast salvation nigh.
Cheerful in God,

Arise and shine,

While rays divine

Stream all abroad.

-2 He gilds thy mourning face
With beams that cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head.
The nations round

Thy form, shall view,
With lustre new
Divinely crowned.

u 3 In honour to his name,
Reflect that sacred light;
And loud that grace proclaim,
Which makes thy darkness bright:
Pursue his praise,

Till sovereign love
In worlds above

The glory raise.

4 There on his holy hill
A brighter sun shall rise,
And with his radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies;

While round his throne,
Ten thousand stars,
In nobler spheres,
His influence own.

AIL to the Lord's anointed!

H Great David's greater Son;

Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,

To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

-2 He comes, with succour speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
3 For him shall prayer unceasing,
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end:
The mountain-dews shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,
And shade like Lebanon.

s 4 O'er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blest :
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand forever;

That name to us is-Love.

Echo round the earth and main.

From the centre to the skies,
Wakes, above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies!

Sheathed his sword! He speaks-'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdom of his Son.

And every foe his arm subdue;
