2 O glorious time! when everywhere, 3 Glory to thee, and peace to men! Glad hearts unceasing songs shall raise, One universal anthem then Proclaim thine everlasting praise, When Christ the Lord assumes the throne, 109 (See Music at the end, No. 4.) 1 FROM Greenland's icy mountains, Roll down their golden sand; Their land from error's chain. 2 Shall we whose souls are lighted The joyful sound proclaim! Has learned Messiah's name. 3 Waft, waft, ye winds his story, It spreads from pole to pole; 1 RISE, Sun of Glory, rise! And chase these shades of night 2 Send now thy Spirit down 3 Then shall thy kingdom come A temple of thy grace, Whence pure devotion shall ascend, 1 COME, Lord, and tarry not; 2 Come, for creation groans, Impatient of thy stay, Worn out with these long years of ill, 3 Come, and make all things new, 4 Come, and begin thy reign 112 Come, take the kingdom to thyself, L. M. 1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun, Does his successive journey run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. 4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns, The prisoner leaps to lose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. I SALVATION! oh, the joyful sound! 'Tis pleasure to our ears, A sov'reign balm for every wound, 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, 3 Salvation! let the echo fly, The spacious earth around, CHORUS. Glory, honour, praise and power, etc. THE MINISTERS' MEETING. 114 L. M. 1 FATHER of Mercies, bow thine ear 2 Clothe thou with energy divine 3 Let thronging multitudes around 1 WE will stand up for Jesus! Lift high his royal banner, And strength to strength oppose. |
