2 Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them, And scattered their legions, was mightier far; They fled, like the chaff, from the scourge that pur sued them; Vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. 3 Daughter of Zion! the power, that hath saved thee, Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be: Shout,-for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee, Th' oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free. 569. C. M. O CITY of the Lord! begin 3 Oh! from the streams of distant lands And joyful, from the mountain-tops, 4 Let all combined, with one accord, Till, in the earth's remotest bounds, 570. 8s, 7s and 4. Dawning of the Latter Day. 1 LOOK, ye saints! the day is breaking; Day advances, Darkness flies, at his command. 2 While the foe becomes more daring, Every language Soon shall tell the love of God. 3 God of Jacob, high and glorious! 571. Perish, while thy saints adore. L. M. Success anticipated. 1 BEHOLD th' expected time draw near, The shades disperse, the dawn appear i Behold the wilderness assume The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom! 2 Events with prophecies conspire To raise our faith, our zeal to fire: The ripening fields, already white, Present a harvest to the sight. 3 The untaught heathen waits to know Our prayers and offerings gladly bring 572. C. M. The Victories of Christ. 1 HOSANNA to our conquering King! Ten thousand songs and glories wait 2 Thy vict'ries and thy deathless fame, The triumph thou hast won, 573. H. M. The general Jubilee. 1 FAIR shines the morning-star; The silver trumpet sound, Their notes re-echoing far, 2 Pris'ners of hope, in gloom Rise with your Lord-he sets you free; 3 Ye who yourselves have sold The blood of Christ hath made you free; 4 Captives of sin and shame! 574. L. M. The Reign of Christ established. 1 SHOUT,-for the great Redeemer reigns, Through distant lands his triumphs spread; Sinners, now freed from Satan's chains, Own him their Saviour and their head. 2 Oh! may his conquests still increase; Let every foe his power subdue; While angels celebrate his praise, Saints shall his rising glory show. 3 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below and all above; In lofty songs, exalt his name,In songs as lasting as his love. 575. 78. The Reign of Christ. 1 WAKE the song of jubilee, Let it echo o'er the sea! Now hath come the promised hour; Jesus reigns with sovereign power. 2 All ye nations! join and sing,"Christ, of lords and kings, is King!" Let it sound from shore to shore,"Jesus reigns for evermore!' 3 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Yea, the whole creation sings,"Jesus is the King of kings!" 7s. 576. The triumphant Reign of Christ. 1 SEE the ransomed millions stand,Palms of conquest in their hands! This before the throne their strain,"Hell is vanquished-death is slain !2 "Blessing, honor. glory, might, Are the Conqueror's native right; Thrones and powers before him fall,Lamb of God, and Lord of all!" 3 Hasten, Lord! the promised hour; Come in glory and in power; Still thy foes are unsubduedNature sighs to be renewed: 4 Time has nearly reached its sum; All things with the bride, say, "Come!" Jesus! whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign for evermore. 577. MORNING. 7s. Morning. 1 IN this calm impressive hour, Hear me, when to thee I cry: 3 Oh! what joy that word affords,"Thou shalt reign o'er all the earth;" King of kings, and Lord of lords! Send thy gospel-heralds forth: Now begin thy boundless sway, Usher in the glorious day. 578. S. M. Prayer for Spiritual Light. 1 WE lift our hearts to thee, Dispel the shades of night; 4 May we this life improve To mourn for errors past; And live, this short revolving day, 379. 7s. Morning-Thanks. 1 THOU that dost my life prolong! 3 Thou hast kept me through the night,- |
