3 Redeem'd from sin, and saved by grace, Thy glory they shall see, And eye to eye, and face to face, 4 Oh! hasten, Lord! the glorious day; HYMN 203. (P. M. CALVARY.) Deliverance to the captives. 1 ON the mountain's top appearing, God Himself shall loose thy bands. 2 Lo! thy sun is risen in glory; God Himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before Thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliverance Zion's King vouchsafes to send. 3 Enemies no more shall trouble; For thy shame thou shalt have double, All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest. Zech. ix. 12. HYMN 204. Let the children of Zion rejoice in their King. 1 COME, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 The sorrows of the mind Be banish'd from the place; Who never knew our God; Celestial fruits on earthly ground 5 Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're hastening through Emmanuel's land (P.

It yields no fruit, no blossom bears, 3 But lo! the gracious Saviour pleads, 4 "Perhaps some means of grace, untried, "May reach the stony heart; "Or the soft dews of heavenly love 5"But, if all means should prove in vain, HYMN 209. (P. M. ARNE.) The Christian desiring to depart and be with Christ. 1 To Jesus, the Crown of our hope, Our souls are in haste to be gone; Oh! bear us, ye Cherubim, up, And waft us away to his throne. 2 Our Saviour! whom, absent, we love, Whom, having not seen, we adore, Whose name is exalted above All glory, dominion and power! 3 Dissolve Thou the bond that detains Our souls from their portion in Thee; |
