2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love To preach the reconciling word: Give power and unction from above, Whene'er the joyful sound is heard, -3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light, Confusion, order, in thy path;

o Souls without strength, inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath! -4 Baptize the nations! far and nigh, The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify,

Till every kindred call him Lord. 5 God from eternity hath willed"All flesh shall my salvation see:" So be the Father's love fulfilled, The Saviour's sufferings crowned by thee! Montgomery. HYMN 382. C. M. Broomsgrove. [*]

SPIRIT

To the Holy Spirit.

PIRIT of power and might, behold
A world by sin destroyed:

Creator Spirit, as of old,

Move on the formless void.

g 2 Give thou the word: that healing sound
Shall quell the deadly strife,

And earth again, like Eden crowned,
Bring forth the Tree of Life.

s 3 If sang the morning stars for joy,
When nature rose to view,

What strains will angel-harps employ,
When thou shalt all renew!

HYMN 383. 8, 7, & 4. Tamworth. [*]
HO, but thou, almighty Spirit,
Can the heathen world reclaim?
Men may preach, but till thou favour,
Pagans will be still the same.
Mighty Spirit!

Witness to the Saviour's name.
2 Thou hast promised, by the prophets,
Glorious light in latter days:

Come and bless bewildered nations,
Change our prayers and tears to praise.
Promised Spirit!

Round the world diffuse thy rays.

3 All our hopes, and prayers, and labours,
Must be vain without thine aid;
But thou wilt not disappoint us-
All is true that thou hast said:
Faithful Spirit!

O'er the world thine influence shed.

HYMN 384. C. M. Tolland. [*]
For Millennial Days.

SENned
END forth thy word, and let it fly,
Armed with thy Spirit's power;
Ten thousands shall confess its sway,
And bless the saving hour!

2 Beneath the influence of thy grace
The barren waste shall rise:

With sudden green and fruits arrayed-
A blooming paradise.

3 Peace, with her olive crown, shall stretch Her wings from shore to shore;

The nations of the earth shall hear

The sound of war no more.

4 Lord! for those days we wait: those days Are in thy word foretold:

Fly swifter, sun and stars, and bring
This promised age of gold.

o 5 Amen! with joy divine, let earth's
Unnumbered myriads cry!

Amen! with joy divine, let heaven's
Unnumbered choirs reply.

Restoration and Glory of the Church.

5 1 ON the mountain's top appearing,

Lo! the sacred herald stands ;

Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion long in hostile lands.

Drooping captive !

God himself will loose thy bands.
-2 God, thy God, will now restore thee:
He 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,
All thy wrongs shall be redressed:
"For thy shame thou shalt have double,'
In thy Maker's favour blessed:
All thy conflicts-

End in one eternal rest.

HYMN 386. C. M. Christmas. [*]
Restoration of Israel.

s 1 DAUGHTER of Zion! from the dust

Exalt thy fallen head;

Again in thy Redeemer trust;
He calls thee from the dead.

s 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength,
Thy beautiful array:

The day of freedom dawns at length,
The Lord's appointed day.

-3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge,
And send thy heralds forth:

Say to the south, "Give up thy charge,
And keep not back, O north."

s 4 They come, they come-thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam,

Have heard thy voice in distant lands,
And hasten to their home.

Spread of the Gospel.

Yjoyful times are near at hand;

ES! we trust the day is breaking;

God-the mighty God is speaking
By his Word, in every land;
When he chooses,

Darkness flies at his command.

2 While the foe becomes more daring,
While he enters like a flood,
God, the Saviour, is preparing
Means to spread his truth abroad:
Every language

Soon shall tell the love of God.

3 God of Jacob, high and glorious, Let thy people see thy hand:

Let the gospel be victorious,

s 1

Through the world in every land;
Then shall idols

Perish, Lord-at thy command.

HYMN 388. H. M. Darwell's. [*]
ZION, tune thy voice,

Ο

And raise thy hands on high;

Tell all the earth thy joys,
And boast salvation nigh.
Cheerful in God,
Arise and shine,
While rays divine

Stream all abroad.

2 He gilds thy mourning face
With beams that cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head.
The nations round

Thy form shall view,
With lustre new
Divinely crowned.

u 3 In honour to his name,
Reflect that sacred light;
And loud that grace proclaim,
Which makes thy darkness bright:
Pursue his praise,

Till sovereign love
In worlds above

The glory raise.

4 There on his holy hill
A brighter sun shall rise,
And with his radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies;
While round his throne,
Ten thousand stars,
In nobler spheres,
His influence own.

AIL to the Lord's anointed!
Great David's greater son;

Η HAL

Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression
To set the captive free,

g 1

To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

2. He comes, with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
3 For him shall prayer unceasing,
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end;
The mountain-dews shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish
And shade like Lebanon.

4 O'er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blest:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;

His name shall stand for ever;

That name to us is-Love. Montgomery.

HYMN 390.

Jesus shall reign.

ARK! the Song of Jubilee,
Loud-as mighty thunders roar:

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore—
2 Hallelujah! for the Lord,
God Omnipotent, shall reign:
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.
3 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the centre to the skies,
Wakes, above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies!

4 See Jehovah's banners furled,
Sheathed his sword! He speaks 'tis done
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdom of his Son.
