20 lift up thine eyes, look around thee, and see, How thy children are gathering together to thee; Like doves on the wing, flying home to be blest, At thine altar with praise, in thy bosom with rest. 3 From the sea's farthest shores, and like its full tide, The nations, new-born, how they flow to thy side; To freedom forth springing, thy light having seen, They bless thee a Mother, and hail thee a Queen. 4 In thy kingdom of love shall all violence cease, Thine exactors be justice, thine officers peace; Thy people all righteous, and truth all thy ways, Thy gates are salvation, thy portals are praise. 5 Jehovah, thy beauty, thy brightness, thy crown, Thy moon shall ne'er wane, and thy sun ne'er go down, And the tide of thy glory no ebbing to know, 297 "Put on Thy beautiful Garments." 2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy various charms be known; L. M. The world thy glories shall confess, 3 No more shall foes unclean invade, 4 God from on high thy groans will hear; Reared and adorned by love divine, 5 Grace shall dispose my heart and voice 298 "They may forget, yet will not I." 88, 7s & 4. 1 ZION stands with hills surrounded Zion, kept by power divine: All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine: Happy Zion, What a favoured lot is thine. 2 Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Mothers cease their own to cherish; Can attend Jehovah's love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, God, thine everlasting light. 299 "Mercy and Truth are met together." C. M. 1 THE Lord will come and not be slow; 2 Mercy and Truth, that long were missed, Sweet Peace and Righteousness have kissed, 3 The nations all whom thou hast made And glorify thy name. 4 Truth from the earth, like to a flower, And Justice, from her heavenly bower, 5 Thee will I praise, O Lord, my God, With my whole heart; and blaze abroad 300 "The Lord shall arise upon Thee." H. M. 1 RISE, Sun of glory, rise, And chase the shades of night Which now obscure the skies, And hide thy sacred light: O, chase those dismal shades away, 2 Now send thy Spirit down 3 Then shall thy kingdom come And all the earth become The temple of thy grace; 301 The Universal King. 1 JESUS, immortal King, go on; And leave a conquered world to thee. 3 Thy footsteps, Lord, with joy we trace, 5 Hark, how the host triumphant sing; Let all his saints rejoice at this, L.
