3 Nor we alone; its wakening smiles 4 Already from the dust of death, 5 From day to day before our eyes, 555. The restoration of Israel. 1 DAUGHTER of Zion, from the dust Exalt thy fallen head; Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead. 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, The day of freedom dawns at length, 3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, Say to the south,-" Give up thy charge, 4 They come, they come ;-thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam, Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 5 Thus, though the universe shall burn, 1 2 3 With songs thy ransom'd shall return, And everlasting joy. 556. The year of Jubilee. FAIR shines the morning star; Prisoners of hope, in gloom With Christ's unfolding tomb, Your portals open fly; Rise with your Lord;-He sets you free; It is the year of Jubilee. Ye, who have sold for nought 4 Ye, who yourselves have sold 5 Ransom'd, but not with gold, The blood of Christ hath made you free; Captives of sin and shame, O'er earth and ocean, hear An angel's voice proclaim The Lord's accepted year: Let Jacob rise, be Israel free, It is the year of Jubilee. 557. "All nations shall serve Him.”—Ps. lxxii. 11. 1 FALL down, ye nations, and adore Like prostrate seas on every shore, 2 Let hallelujahs to the skies, 3. Come from the east,-with gifts, ye kings, Where'er the morning spreads her wings, 4 Come from the west,-the bond, the free, Ye isles of the Pacific sea, Like halcyon-nests, in God rejoice. 5 Come from the south,-through desert-sands, 6 Come from the north,-let Europe raise 7 For He hath bow'd the heavens above, 8 With smiles, O earth! thy Maker meet; 1 2 3 4 5 558. Exhortation to praise and thanksgiving, STAND up and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice; Stand up, and bless the Lord your God, Though high above all praise, Who would not fear his holy name, And laud, and magnify? O for the living flame From his own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, There with benign regard Our hymns He deigns to hear; Though unreveal'd to mortal sense, God is our strength and song, And his salvation ours; Then be his love in Christ proclaim'd With all our ransom'd powers. 6 Stand up and bless the Lord, The Lord your God adore; Stand up, and bless his glorious name, Henceforth for evermore. 559. The song of the hundred and forty and four thousand. 1 WHAT are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar night and day, 2 These through fiery trials trod, Through their dear Redeemer's might, 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, 560. The Church militant learning the Church triumphant's song. 1 SING We the song of those who stand Of every kindred, clime and land, 2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here; Our Saviour and his flock appear 3 Toil, trial, suffering, still await On earth the pilgrim's throng, The Church triumphant's song. Blessing and honour to obtain, 5 Worthy the Lamb, on earth we sing, |
