The Church on Earth and in Heaven, One.

1 THE saints on earth and those above
But one communion make:

Joined to their Lord in bonds of love,
All of his grace partake.

2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our king
In heaven and earth are one.

3 One family, we dwell in him;
One church above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The swelling stream of death.

4 One army of the living God,-
To his command we bow;

Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.

5 Ten thousand to their endless home,
This passing moment, go;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon must follow too.

6 O God, be thou our constant guide!
And when the word is given,
Sustain us o'er the fearful tide,
And bring us safe to heaven.

THE SALVATION OF ALL.

*BUTCHER.

All Mankind in Heaven.

1 FROM north and south, from east and west,
Advance the myriads of the blest:
From every clime of earth they come,
And find in heaven a common home.

2 In one immortal throng we view
Pagan and Christian, Greek and Jew;
But, all their doubts and darkness o’er,
One only God they now adore.

3 Howe'er divided once below,
One bliss, one spirit here they know!
Here all their errors are forgiven,
And Jesus welcomes them to heaven.

Prospect of Universal Blessedness.

1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!

The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.

2 From the third heaven, where God resides, That holy, happy place,

The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.

3 Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing,
'Mortals, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending king.

4 The God of glory down to men
Removes his blessed abode;
Men, the dear objects of his grace,
And he, the loving God.

5 'His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;

And pains and groans, and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die.'

6 How long, dear Savior, O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?

Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day.

1 LIFT up your joyful eyes, and see
A plenteous harvest all around,
Ripening for bliss, and not a grain
Shall ever fall unto the ground:

2 A harvest of immortal souls,
Secured by an almighty power;

Nor heat, nor cold, nor storms, shall hurt, Nor ravenous beasts of prey devour.

30 happy day! when all our race
Complete in glory shall be found;

And, like their great, their mystic head,
Be with eternal honors crowned.

The Same.

1 IN God's eternity

There shall a day arise,

When all the race of man shall be

With Jesus in the skies.

2 As night before the rays
Of morning flees away,
Sin shall retire before the blaze
Of God's eternal day.

3 As music fills the grove

When stormy clouds are past,
Sweet anthems of redeeming love
Shall all employ at last.

4 Redeemed from death and sin,
Shall Adam's numerous race
A ceaseless song of praise begin,
And shout redeeming grace.

MONTGOMERY.

Jubilee of Christ's Universal Triumph.

1 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, Heard through earth, and through the skies Wakes above, beneath, around,

All creation's harmonies :

See Jehovah's banner furled,

Sheathed his sword; he speaks,-'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 are 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.
