167 SOON shall arrive the glorious day, When thron'd on Zion's brow, The Lord shall rend that veil away, 2 When earth no more beneath the fear When pain shall cease, and ev'ry tear 3 Then Judah, thou no more shalt mourn, Thy days of splendour shall return, 4 Lo, on the mountains beauteous stand 168 TO bless Thy chosen race, And cause the brightness of Thy face 2 That so Thy wondrous way May through the world be known, While distant lands their tribute pay, And Thy salvation own. 3 Let diff'ring nations join To celebrate Thy fame; Let all the world, O Lord, combine 4 O let them shout and sing For Thou, the righteous Judge and King, 169 THAT the Lord's salvation To heal His ancient nation, Shall heathen feet profane ? 2 Let fall Thy rod of terror, PRAYER. 170 LORD, teach us how to pray aright, With rev'rence and with fear; Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, 2 We perish if we cease from prayer; And when to meet Thee we prepare, K 171 MY God and Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life's rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, 2 If Thou shouldst call me to resign 3 If but my fainting heart be blest 4 Renew my will from day to day; 5 Then, when on earth I breathe no more, The prayer, oft mixed with tears before, I'll sing upon a happier shore, 66 Thy will be done!" O 172 THOU that hearest prayer, Now let us prove Thy presence here, 2 Thy promise, Lord, we plead; Thou never saidst to Israel's seed, 3 Glory to Thee alone, 4 Thou God of boundless grace, O, let it now be shown How true, how good Thou art! 173 FOR a closer walk with God, 2 Return, O Holy Dove, return, I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, 3 The dearest idol I have known, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, 4 So shall my walk be close with God, So purer light shall mark the road 174 JESUS, where'er Thy people meet, 2 Still may they prove the pow'r of pray'r And make a thousand hearts Thine own. 175 LORD, my best desire fulfil, Life, health, and comfort, to Thy will, 2 Why should I shrink at Thy command, 3 No; rather let me freely yield 4 Thy favour, all my journey through, What else I want, or think I do, |
