OH that the Lord's salvation

Were out of Zion come; To heal his ancient nation,

To lead his outcasts home!
How long, the holy city

Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O Lord, in pity;
Rebuild her walls again.
2. Let fall thy rod of terror;

Thy saving grace impart :
Roll back the vail of error,
Release the fetter'd heart:
Let Israel, home returning,
Her lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind thy church to thee.

And rule in equity.

LORD, to thy people aid dispense,
Their shield and portion be,
And let their lives the world
That they belong to thee: (convince
To bear thy truth to distant parts,

Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go:
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.

His praise all people sing:
For he shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion,

Or dove's light wing can soar.

FROM Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's 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.
2. Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted,
The lamp of light deny ?
Salvation! O salvation!

The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation

Has learn'd Messiah's name.
3. Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till like a sea of glory,

It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransom'd nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

Therefore the children are by Christ
Heirs of his kingdom styl'd:
Is heaven theirs, none shall forbid
A child to come to him:
Who shall forbid the water-flood
A babe to overstream?

2. O Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Be present with us here;
We trust in Jesus' saving name,
To us his words are dear;
We now baptize a little child
Into the Saviour's death;
'Tis his command, and we perform
This solemn act in faith.

That we thy life may prove ;
Partakers of thy cross beneath,

With thee are buried in thy grave;|
Thus quicken'd to a life divine,
Their souls a resurrection have.

This holy symbol doth assure,
The resurrection of the just
Shall render them all bright and

The blood which Jesus spilt,
While we with water you baptize,
Will wash away your guilt.

Your sins you now deplore,
Christ with his blood will blot them
Remember them no more. (out,

And to his sceptre bow,
Sing your Redeemer's love, and tell

Garments of praise adorn you now,
Who late in ashes mourn'd.

Aspire to things above:
Mansions for you he now prepares,
In realms of light and love.
