MCKIM. 88 & 7s. 8s

From MEINEKE'S Music for the Church.

139

1. SI-ON's King shall reign vic-torious, All the earth shall own his sway;

He will make his king-dom glorious, He shall reign through endless day.

[H. 548. Sel. 357.

Sel. 356. (Stanza 1 in Music.) 2. Nations, now from God estrangéd, Then shall see a glorious light; Night to day shall then be changed, Heaven shall triumph in the sight.

3. See the ancient idols falling,

Worshipp'd once, but now abhorr'd;
Men on Sion's King are calling,
Sion's King, by all adored.

4. Then shall Israel, long disperséd,

Mourning seek their Lord and God,
Look on Him whom once they piercéd,
Own and kiss the chastening rod.
5. Then shall Israel all be savéd,

War and tumult then shall cease,
While the greater Son of David

Rules a conquer'd world in peace. 6. Mighty King, thine arm revealing,

Now thy glorious cause maintain; Bring the nations help and healing, Make them subject to thy reign!

7. Angels in their lofty station,

Praise thy name, thou only wise; O let earth, with emulation,

Join the triumph of the skies.

[H. 494.

LORIOUS things of thee are spoken,
Sion, city of our God;

He whose word cannot be broken,
Form'd thee for his own abode:
On the Rock of ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

2. See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove :
Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

3. Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering,

Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner,
Light by night, and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna,
Which He gives them, when they
pray.

Doxology.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love, With the Holy Spirit's favor,

Rest upon us from above. Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord, And possess, in sweet communion,

Joys which earth cannot afford.

He will chase thy fears away; 'Tis his gracious presence cheers thee, Turning darkness into day. Precious Saviour, have I found thee? Wilt thou then my portion be? Spread thy sheltering arm around me, Let me lean alone on thee.

3. Through this world, so dark and dreary,

Be my constant friend and guide; Hungry, thirsty, faint and weary, Keep me ever near thy side. Blessed be his name for ever,

For his pardoning grace to me; Sinners, doubt his promise never, Jesus' love is full and free.

3. Once with Adam's race in ruin,

Unconcern'd in sin I lay;

COME, thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee:

Hope of all the saints thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
