2 The church triumphant in Thy love, Their mighty joys we know: They sing the Lamb in hymns above, 3 Thee, in Thy glorious realm, they praise, 4 The holy to the holiest leads; 259. Christ's blessed Reign. 1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does His successive journeys run; 2 People and realms of every tongue And all the sons of want are bless'd. L.M. 260. 1 The Kingdom of Christ. BEHOLD! the mountain of the Lord In latter days shall rise All tribes and tongues, shall flow; "Up to the hill of God," they'll say, "And to His house we'll go." 3 The beam that shines from Zion hill The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs C.M. 4 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds 5 No longer hosts encount'ring hosts They hang the trumpet in the hall, 6 Come then, O house of Jacob! come And walking in the light of God, 261. The City of God. 1 HOW glorious Zion's courts appear, The city of our God! C.M. His throne He hath established here, 2 Lift up the everlasting gates, 3 Here shall ye taste unmingled joys 4 Trust in the Lord, for ever trust, 262. LE The Christian Family. ET saints below in concert join 2 One family, we dwell in Him; 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have cross'd the flood, C.M. 4 Saviour, be Thou our constant guide; Bid Death's cold stream its waves divide 263. The Praise of Nations. S.M. bless Thy chosen race, In mercy, Lord, incline; And cause the brightness of Thy face 2 That so Thy wondrous way May through the world be known; 3 Let differing nations join Let all the world, O Lord, combine 4 O let them shout and sing With joy and pious mirth; For Thou, the righteous Judge and King, 264. Universal Worship. L.M. THOU, to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of Hebrew bards was strung! Whom kings adored in songs sublime, And prophets praised with glowing tongue! 2 Not now on Zion's height alone The favoured worshipper may dwell; To heaven, and find acceptance there. Shall temples rise, and praise be sung. 265. Streams from Zion. SEE, from Zion's sacred mountain, Streams of living water flow; Who its sovereign virtues know. 2 Gladdened by the flowing treasure, All enriching as it goes, Lo! the desert smiles with pleasure, Sings for joy where'er it flows. 8.7.4. |
