HYMN 485. C. M.

Clifford, Steffani's, Keene.

Prince of Peace.

LET saints on earth their anthems raise,
Who taste the Saviour's grace:
Let heathens too proclaim his praise,

And crown him "Prince of Peace." 2 Praise him, who laid his glory by, For man's apostate rac;

Praise him, who stoop'd to bleed and die, And crown him "Prince of Peace." 3 Ye nations, lay your weapons down, Let war forever cease; Immanuel for your Sov'reign own,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

4 We soon shall reach the heav'nly shore, To view his lovely face;

1

His name forever to adore,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

HYMN 486. 8, 7.

Tabernacle, Drummond,

Isa. ii. 2.

KELLY.

ARK! a cry among the nations!
"Come, and let us seek the Lord:

"Vain our former expectations;
"Vain the idols we ador'd:

"Zion's King is God alone:
"Let us bow before his throne."

2 See! from ev'ry quarter flowing,
Joyful crowds assemble round:
Love, in ev'ry heart is glowing;
Praise is heard in ev'ry sound;
While Jehovah shews his face,
Glory fills the sacred place.

3 Weapons meant for mutual slaughter,
Now are instruments of peace;
They who taste the living water,
Learn from war and strife to cease:
Jesus reigns-the earth is still-
All the nations do his will.

MONTGOMERY.

Hotham, Middleton.

Rev. xiv. 2, 3.

'H Loud as mighty thunders roar,

ARK! the song of Jubilee,

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore :Hallelujah! for the Lord,

God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the depth unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:-
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,

Sheath'd his sword: he speaks-'tis done;
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.

3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway:

He shall reign, when like a scroll,
Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away :---
Then the end;-beneath his rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.

COLLYER.

Luther's Hymn, Leeds, Bath.

For Missionary Associations.

SSEMBLED at thy great command,
Before thy face, dread King, we stand;
The voice that marshall'd ev'ry star,
Has call'd thy people from afar.

2 We meet, thro' distant lands to spread The truth for which the martyrs bled; Along the line-to either pole

The thunder of thy praise to roll.

3 First, bow our hearts beneath thy sway:
Then give thy growing empire way,
O'er wastes of sin-o'er fields of blood-
Till all mankind shall be subdu'd.

4 Our pray'rs assist-accept our praiseOur hopes revive-our courage raise

Our counsels aid-and Oh! impart
The single eye-the faithful heart!
5 Forth with thy chosen heralds come,
Recal the wand'ring spirit home :

1

From Zion's mount send forth the sound To spread the spacious earth around.

Leyden, China, Leeds.

VOKE.

EHOLD th' expected time draw near, The shades disperse, the dawn appear; Behold the wilderness assume

The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom.

♣ The untaught heathen waits to know
The joy the gospel will bestow,
The exil'd captive, to receive
The freedom Jesus has to give.

3 Come, let us with a grateful heart
In the blest labor share a part;
Our pray'rs and off'rings gladly bring
To aid the triumphs of our King.

4 Invite the world to come and prove
A Saviour's condescending love;
And humbly fall before his feet,
Assur'd they shall acceptance meet.

HYMN 490. L. M.

Armley, Luton.

NDULGENT God of love and pow'r, Be with us at this solemn hour! Smile on our souls; our plans approve, By which we seek to spread thy love.

2 Let each discordant thought be gone,
And love unite our hearts in one;
Let all we have and are combine,
To forward objects so divine.

HYMN 491. C. M.

DODDRIDGE.

Plymouth, Buckingham.

THE Lord on mortal worms looks down
From his celestial throne;

And, when the wicked swarm around,
He well discerns his own.

2 He sees the tender hearts that mourn
The scandals of the times,
And join their efforts to oppose
The wide-prevailing crimes.

3 Low to the social band he bows
His still attentive ear;

And, while his angels sing around,
Delights their voice to hear.

HYMN 492. 7, 6. BP. HEBER.

Margate, Brighthelmstone.

1 FROM Greenland's icy mountains,
coral strand;

Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,

They call us to deliver

Their land from error's chain.
