161. ARM of the Lord! awake, awake! No more let human blood be spilt,

Put on Thy strength, the nations Vain sacrifice for human guilt! And let the world, adoring, see

[shake: But to each conscience be applied Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee. The blood that flow'd from Jesus' side,

Say to the heathen, from Thy throne,
“I am Jehovah, God alone!”
Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.

Let Zion's time of favour come;
Oh, bring the tribes of Israel home:
And let our wondering eyes behold
Gentiles and Jews in Jesus' fold !

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

OH,why should
Israel's sons, once bless'd, Haste

, glorious day, expected long, (raise, Still roam the scorning world around, When Jew and Greek one prayer shall Disown'd of heaven, by man oppressid, With eager feet one temple throng,

Outcasts from Zion's hallow'd ground ? One God in holy anthems praise. O God of Israel! view their race,

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Back to Thy fold the wanderers bring ;

The God whom heaven and earth adore, Teach them to seek Thy slighted grace,

From men and from the Angal host, To hail in Christ their promised King.

Be praise and glory evermore. The veil of darkness rend in twain,

That hides their Shiloh's glorious light; The sever'd olive-branch again

MISSION TO THE JEWS.

OH that the Lord's salvation
To heal His ancient nation,

To lead His outcasts home!
How long the holy city

Shall heathen feet profane ? Return, O Lord, in pity;

Rebuild her walls again. Let fall Thy rod of terror :

Thy saving grace impart ; Roll back the veil of error:

Release the fetter'd heart.
Let Israel, home returning,

Her lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,

And bind Thy Church to Thee.
