WEBB. 7, 6. D.

George James Webb. (1803-) 1830.

1. THE morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To pen -i- tential tears:

Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war.

1132

Success of the Gospel
2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending,

In gratitude above;

While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.

3 Blest river of salvation,

Pursue thine onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy riches stay:
Stay not, till all the lowly

Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not, till all the holy

Proclaim, "The Lord is come."
Rev. Samuel Francis Smith. (1808-) 1831. ab.

1133 The coming Millennium.

1 AWAKE, awake, O Zion,

Put on thy strength divine,
Thy garments bright in beauty,
The bridal dress be thine:
Jerusalem the holy,

To purity restored;
Meek Bride, all fair and lowly,
Go forth to meet thy Lord.

2 The Lamb who bore our sorrows
Comes down to earth again;
No Sufferer now, but Victor,
For evermore to reign;

[blocks in formation]

I How beauteous on the mountains,
The feet of him that brings,
Like streams from living fountains,
Good tidings of good things;
That publisheth salvation,

And jubilee release,

To every tribe and nation,
God's reign of joy and peace.

2 Lift up thy voice, O watchman,
And shout from Zion's towers
Thy hallelujah chorus,

"The victory is ours!"
The Lord shall build up Zion
In glory and renown,
And Jesus, Judah's Lion,

Shall wear His rightful crown.

Benjamin Gough. 1865. ab. and sl. alt.

APHEK. 7.

I. COME, di- vine Em man- uel, come, Take pos

ses - sion

of Thy home;

Now Thy mer- cy's wings ex - pand, Stretch throughout the happy land.

II35 Prayer for a Revival of Religion.

2 Carry on Thy victory,

Spread Thy rule from sea to sea;
Rescue all Thy ransomed race,
Save us, save us, Lord, by grace.

3 Take the purchase of Thy blood,
Bring us to a pardoning God;
Give us eyes to see our day,
Hearts the gospel truth to obey;
4 Ears to hear the gospel sound;

Grace doth more than sin abound;
God appeased, and man forgiven,
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven.

5 O that every soul might be

Perfectly subdued to Thee;
O that all in Thee might know
Everlasting life below.

6 Now Thy mercy's wings expand,
Stretch throughout the happy land:
Take possession of Thy home;
Come, divine Emmanuel, come.

Rev. Charles Wesley. (1708-1788.) 1749. alt.

1136 Thanksgiving for a Revival of Religion.

I FOUNT of everlasting love,

Rich Thy streams of mercy are;
Flowing purely from above,

Beauty marks their course afar.

2 Lo, Thy Church, athirst and faint,
Drinks the full, refreshing tide;
Thou hast heard her sad complaint,
Floods of grace are sweeping wide.

[blocks in formation]

I WHO are these that come from far,
Led by Jacob's rising star?
Strangers now to Zion come,
There to seek a peaceful home.

2 Lo, they gather like a cloud,
Or as doves their windows crowd:
Zion wonders at the sight,
Zion feels a strange delight.
3 Zion now no more shall sigh,
God will raise her glory high;
He will send a large increase,
He will give His people peace.
4 Sons of Zion, sing aloud;

See her sky without a cloud:
God will make her joy complete;
Zion's sun shall never set.

Rev. Thomas Kelly. (1769-1855.) 1806. ab. and alt

2 Then shall wars and tumults cease,

Then be banished grief and pain; Righteousness, and joy, and peace, Undisturbed shall ever reign. Time shall sun and moon obscure, Seas be dried, and rocks be riven, But His reign shall still endure, Endless as the days of Heaven.

Miss Harriet Auber. (1773-1862.) 1829. ab.

1140 Christ reigning over all the Earth. I WAKE the song of jubilee;

Let it echo o'er the sea: Now is come the promised hour; Jesus reigns with glorious power. 2 All ye nations, join and sing, Praise your Saviour, praise your King; Let it sound from shore to shore, "Jesus reigns for evermore !"

3 Hark, the desert lands rejoice;
And the islands join their voice:
Joy! the whole creation sings,
"Jesus is the King of kings!"

Rev. Leonard Bacon. (1802-) 1833.

"The Song of Jubilee."

I HARK, the song of jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
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 centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies.
See Jehovah's banners furled,

Sheathed Hissword: Hespeaks; '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 heavens have passed away:
Then the end; beneath His rod
Man's last enemy shall fall:
Hallelujah! Christ in God,

God in Christ, is All in all.

James Montgomery. (1771-1854.) 1819, 1825.

2 O Saviour, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst in the foaming deep,
And calm amid its rage didst sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O Sacred Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad'st its angry tumult cease,
And gavest light, and life, and peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

4 O Trinity of love and power,

Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
William Whiting. (1825-) 1860.

Prayer for Mariners.

I WHILE o'er the deep Thy servants sail,

When in the tempting port they ride,
O keep them safe at Jesus' side.

4 If life's wide ocean smile or roar,

Still guide them to the heavenly shore;
And grant their dust in Christ may sleep,
Abroad, at home, or in the deep.

[blocks in formation]

IO GOD, Who metest in Thy Hand
The waters of the mighty sea,
And barrest ocean with the sand
By Thy perpetual decree;

2 When they who to the sea go down,
And in the waters ply their toil,
Are lifted on the surge's crown,
And plunged where seething eddies boil;

3 Rule then, O Lord, the ocean's wrath,
And bind the tempest with Thy will;
Tread, as of old, the water's path,
And speak Thy bidding, "Peace, bestill."

Send Thou, O Lord, the prosperous gale; 4 And when there shall be sea no more,

And on their hearts where'er they go,

O let Thy heavenly breezes blow.

2 If on the morning's wings they fly,
They will not pass beyond Thine eye:
The wanderer's prayer Thou bend'st to hear,
And faith exults to know Thee near.

3 When tempests rock the groaning bark,
O hide them safe in Jesus' ark;

Save that of mingled flame and glass, Where goes no galley sped by oar, Where gallant ships no longer pass;

5 When dawns the Resurrection morn, Upon that shore, O Jesus, stand, And give Thy pilgrims, faint and worn,

Their welcome to the Happy Land. Rev. Richard Frederick Littledale. (1833-) 1867. ab.

2 O Jesus, once rocked on the breast of the billow,
Aroused by the shriek of despair from Thy pillow,
Now seated in glory, the poor sinner cherish,

Who cries in his anguish, "Save, Lord, or we perish."
Bp. Reginald Heber. (1783-1826.) 1820. ab. and alt.
