1 And walking in the light of God, HYMN 141. P. M. 7, 6. Blessings of Christ's reign. H Hail, in the time appointed, 2 He comes, with succor speedy, And bid the weak be strong; 3 He shall come down, like showers 4 For Him shall pray'r unceasing, His kingdom still increasing, 'L' HYMN 142. C. M. The Prince of Peace. ET 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 race; 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 143. P. M. 8,7,4. Longing for the spread of the Gospel. E'R the gloomy hills of darkness; Sun of Righteousness, arising, To the earth's remotest bound. 2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness! Freely purchas'd, win the day. 1 HYMN 144. L. M. For Christian Missionaries. MA ARK'D as the purpose of the skies, eyes, That heathen worlds the Lord shall know, 2 Ee'n now the hallow'd scenes appear, 3 Midst burning climes, and frozen plains, Where heathen darkness brooding reigns, Lord mark their steps, their fears subdue, And nerve their arm, and clear their view. 4 When worn by toil, their spirits fail, Bid them the glorious future hail; Bid them the crown of life survey, And onward urge their conq'ring way. 5 So on the Indian's gloomy night, The eastern star shall shed her light, And Jesus' hallow'd reign control The stormy passions of the soul. 6 So shall Messiah's influence cheer His humble cot, which still is dear; And heavenly hope his soul pervade, Though life, and time, and worlds shall fade, HYMN 145. C. M. Farewell to Missionaries. 1 O, messenger of love, and bear, The song which seraphs love to hear, 2 Go, to the heart with sin opprest, Extract the thorn that wounds the breast, 3 Go, say to Zion, "Jesus reigns" By his resistless pow'r, He binds his enemies with chains; 4 Tell how the Holy Spirit flies, The song of Jubilee. Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore:- God omnipotent, shall reign; Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, Sheath'd his sword: he speaks: 'tis done, Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole He shall reign, when like a scroll, |
