Ye by the Flood baptised, by Deluge slain— Come forth to Judgement! lo, the Judge appears! Where'er ye bide, on mountain or in plain, Come in your multitudes! foretold by Seers, Concurrent Prophecy of Paradise,

Dated co-eval with the Eternal Years,

Older than Earth, more ancient than the skies— Come Myriads! the Messiah to behold,

The Preacher like to Noah-Rise-arise!

He cometh with his Saints redeemed of old,
The Deeds of the Ungodly to confound,
And everlasting Judgement to unfold!

Hushed be the strain-the ground is holy ground.

PART THE FIFTH.

THE RESTORATION.

"The Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."

ISAIAH, liv. 6—10.

THE HOLY OF HOLIES.

MORIAH! holy hill! ascend by thee

The pure of heart, the clean of hand-before
Thy "Beautiful Gate," a sainted Company.
Michael the sacred ramparts hovers o'er,
The Angel of God's presence. Thus he cries,
Thus hails the Myriads, friends of God of yore,

"Zion! that comes-with tidings good, arise! Now get thee up into the mountain high; Jerusalem! lift up thy voice, thine eyes; Lift up thy Voice with strength, and fearlessly'Behold your God!'-say to the Isles around."

Thus from above those Hosts are welcomed by
