PREFACE
The Harp, in its present form, embraces nearly all the hymns contained in our well-known works, — the "Millennial Harp," "Musings," and "Melodies," — (those only having been omitted which are rarely, if ever, sung,) and is designed to furnish a more com- plete and convenient selection, to be used in our Advent meetings. The hurry with which the above- named works were got through the press, necessa- rily made them, in many respects, defective ; though, with all their defects, they have been the means of accomplishing a vast amount of good, by conveying the truth to the mind of those who were in the dark, and awakening the careless; by inspiring new hope in the fainting soul, quickening the languid, and giv- ing utterance to the burning desires and sublime expectations of those who are longing for the appear- ing of Jesus Christ.
We are aware of the difficulty of suiting the taste of all classes in musical and devotional composi- tions ; the greatest possible diversity for this pur- pose, which is consistent with the nature of the work in which we are engaged, must therefore be allowed. Some of our hymns, which might be objected to by the more grave and intellectual, and to which we ourselves have never felt any great partiality, have been the means of reaching, for good, the hearts of those who, probably, would not otherwise have been affected ; and, as our object, like that of the Apostle, is to save men, we should not hesitate to use all means lawful, that may promise to " save some."
The general expression of approbation which our former works have called forth, assures us that this effort to improve our Ad-cent Harp will be appre- ciated by all the true friends of the Advent cause.

MILLENNIAL HARP.
3 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven; When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls
And all is drear — but heaven.
4 There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
To brighter piospects given; It views the tempest passing by, Sees evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene — in heaven.
5 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given; There rays divine disperse the gloom;— Beyond the dark, the narrow tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven.
Human Frailty.
1 This world is all a fleeting show,
For man's probation given; The smiles of joy, the tears of wo, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow;
There's nothing true as heaven.
2 Poor wanderers of a stormy day,
From wave lo wave we'er driven; And fancy's flash, and reason's ray Serve but to light us on the way;
There's nothing bright as heaven. S And where's the hand held out to cheer
The heart with anguish riven? For sorrow's sigh, and trouble's tear, Have never found a refuge here;
There's nothing kind as heaven.
4 In vain do mortals sigh for bliss,
Without their sins forgiven: True pleasuie, everlasting peace, Are only found in God's free grace;
There's nothing good as heaven.
5 From those who walk in wisdom's way,
Corroding fears are driven; They're wash'd in Christ's atoning blood, Enjoy communion with their God,
And find their way to heaven.

While angelic legions, with harps tuned celestial,
Harmoniously join in the concert of praise, The saints, as they flock from the regions terrestrial,
In loud hallelujahs their voices will raise: Then songs to the Lamb shall re-echo thro' heaven, My soul will respond, To Immanuel be given All glory, all honor, all might and dominion, Who brought us thro' grace to the Eden of Love.
Then hail, blessed state! hail, ye songsters of glory !
Ye harpers of bliss, soon I'll meet you above! And join your full choir in rehearsing the story, " Salvation from sorrow, through Jesus's love:" Though 'prisoned in earth, yet by anticipation, Already my soul feels a sweet prelib&tion Of joys that await me, when freed from probation:
My heart's now in Heaven, the Eden of Love.

2 From every piercing sorrow,
That leaves our breast to-day Or threatens us to-morrow,
Hope turns our eyes away, On wings of faith ascending,
We see the land of light , And feel our sorrows ending,
In infinite delight.
MILLENNIAL HARP. 13
3 'Tis true, we are but strangers,
We sojourn here below; And countless snares and dangers
Surround the path we go; Though painful and distressing,
Yet there's a rest above; And onward still we're pressing,
To reach that land of love.
The Great Physician.
1 How lost was my condition,
Till Jesus made me whole; There is but one Physician
Can cure a sin-sick soul; Next door to death he found me,
And snatch'd me from the grave, To tell to all around me
His wondrous power to save.
2 The worst of all diseases
Is light, compared with sin; On every part it seizes,
But rages most within; 'Tis palsy, plague, and fever,
And madness all combined; And none but a believer,
The least relief can find.
3 From men great skill professing,
I sought a cure to gain; But this proved more distressing,
And added to my pain. Some said that nothing ail'd me,
Some gave me up for lost; Thus every refuge failed me,
And all my hopes were cross'd.
4 At length this great physician,
How matchless is his grace! Accepted my petition,
And undertook my case; First gave me sight to view him,
For sin mine eyes had seaPd, Then bade me look unto him;
I look'd — and I was heal'd.

2 In the way, a thousand snares Lie to take us unawares; Satan, with malicious art, Watches each unguarded heart: But from Satan's malice free, Saints shall soon in glory be; Soon the joyful news will come,
" Child, your Father calls, Come home."
3 But of all the foes we meet, None so oft misled our feet, None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within:
Yet let nothing spoil your peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Then the joyful news will come,
" Child, your father calls, Come home.**
Joy in Hope.
Children of the heavenly King, As ye journey sweetly sing; Sing your Savior's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways. We are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now and we Soon their happiness shall see.
Shout ye little flock, and blest, You near Jesus throne shall rest; There your seats are now prepared, There your kingdom and reward. Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of your land: Jesus Christ, your Father's son, Bids you undismay'd go on.

2 His crimes with inward grief and shame,
The penitent confessed; Then turned his dying eyes to Christ, And thus his prayer addressed;
3 'Jesus thou Son and heir of heaven,
'Thou spotless Lamb of God, 'I see thee bathed in sweat and tears, 'And weltering in thy blood.
4 'Yet quickly from these scenes of wo,
'In triumph thou shalt rise, 'Burst through the gloomy shades of death. And shine above the skies.'
MILLENNIAL HARP. 17
5 'Amid the glories of that world,
'Dear Savior, think on me; 'And in the vict'ries of thy death, 'May I a sharer be.'
6 His prayer the dying Jesus heard
And instantly replied, 'To-day thy parting soul shall be 'With me in paradise.'
Godly sorrow arising from the sufferings of Christ.
1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Jesus die ? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I ?
2 Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine,
And bath'd in its own blood, While all exposed to wrath of men, The glorious SufPrer stood !
3 Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree ? Amazing pity ! grace unknown! And love beyond degree!
4 Well might the sun in darkness hide,*
And shut his glories in, When Christ the glorious Savior died, For man, the creature's sin.
5 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes in tears.
6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do.

" O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die."
1 0 turn ye, 0 turn ye, for why will you die, When God in great mercy is coining so nigh? Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come, And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2 How vain the delusion, that while you delay, Your hearts may grow better by staying away; Come wretched, come starving, come just as you be While streams of salvation are flowing so free.
3 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive, O how can you question, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come? Tis you he bids welcome; he bids you come home.
4 In riches, in pleasures, what can you obtain, To soothe your affliction, or banish your pain? To bear up your spirit when summon'd to die, Or wall you to mansions of glory on high?
5 Why will you be starving and feeding on air? There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare; If still you are doubting, make trial and see, And prove that his mercy is boundless and free.
6 Come, give us your hand, and the Savioryour heart, And trusting in Heaven, we never shall part;
O how can we leave you? why will you not come; We'll journey together, and <*oon be at home.

Hark, how the gospel trumpet sounds, Through all the world the echo bounds, And Jesus, with redeeming blood Is bringing sinners home to God, And guides them safely by his word
To endless day. 2
Hail, all victorious conquering Lord, By all the heavenly hosts adored; Who undertook for fallen man, And brought salvation through thy name, That we with thee might live and reign In endless day.
3 Fight on ye conquering saints, fight on, And when the conquest you have won, Then palms of victory you shall bear, And in his kingdom have a share, And crowns of glory you shall wear, In endless day.
4 Thy blood, dear Jesus, once was spilt, To save our souls from sin and guilt; And sinners now may come to God, And find salvation through his word, And sail by faith upon that flood
To endless day.
5 There we shall in sweet chorus join, And saints and angels all combine, To sing of his redeeming love, When rolling years shall cease to move; And that shall be the theme above, In endless day.

Harvest Home.
1 Though in the outward church below, The wheat and tares together grow; Jesus ere long will weed the crop, And pluck the tares in anger up.
CHORUS.
For soon the reaping time will come, And angels shout the harvest home.
2 Will it relieve their horrors there, To recollect their stations here;
How much they heard, how much they knew, How much among the wheat they grew? For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
3 No! this will aggravate their case, They perish'd under means of grace, To them the word of life and faith Became an instrument of death.
For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
4 We seem alike when thus we meet, Strangers might think we all were wheat, But to the Lord's all-searching eyes, Each heart appears without disguise.
For soon the reaping time will, S;c.
5 The tares are spared for various ends, Some for the sake of praying friends: Others the Lord, against their will, Employs his counsels to fulfil.
For soon the reaping time will, Sfc.
6 But though they grow so tall and strong, His plan will not require them long;
In harvest, when he saves his own,
The tares shall into hell be thrown.
For soon the reaping time will, fyc»
7 Oh! awful thought, and is it so? Must all mankind the harvest know? Is every man a wheat or tare?
Me, for that harvest, Lord, prepare. [4] For soon the reaping time will, fyc.

Star of Bethlehem.
2 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd, and rudely blow'd
The wind that toss'd my foundering bark. Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death struck — I ceased the tide to stem: When suddenly a star arose,
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
3 It was my guide, my light, my all,
It bade my dark foreboding cease; And thro* the storm and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace. Now safely moor'd — my perils o'er,
I'll sing first in night's diadem, Forever and forevermore,
The Star— the Star of Bethlehem.
The Christian and the Cross.
2 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord, Who lives by angels now adored; That Jesus who once died for me, Who bore my sins in agony.
2 I'm not ashamed to own his laws, Nor to defend his noble cause,
The way he's gone, is lined with blood, O may I tread the steps he trod.
3 I'm not ashamed his name to bear, With those who his disciples were: Christian, sweet name! its worth I view, O may I wear the nature too.
4 I'm not ashamed to bear my cross, For which I count all things but dross; Whate'er I'm bid to do or say, When Christ commands, I will obey.
5 I'm not ashamed to be despised, By those who ne'er religion prized: Nor will I prove to Christ untrue, For all that men can say or do.
6 This world's vain honors will I shun, The narrow way to life I'll run; That this at last my boast may be, My Savior's not ashamed of me.

The Spirit grieved away, Thy cup, long filling, now o'erflown, Demands the vengeful day.

To draw his glittering sword; And o'er thy guilty head it gleams, To vindicate his word.

Oh, sinner, seize it now, — The blood that Jesus shed for thee! No other hope hast thou.

Our Shepherd.
2 The Lord is our Shepherd; what then shall we
fear, What danger can frighten us while he is near? Not when the time calls us to walk thro' the vale Of the shadow of death, shall our hearts ever fail
3 Tho' afraid of ourselves, to pursue the dark way, Thy rod and thy staff be our comfort and stay; For we know by thy guidance, when once it is past, To a fountain of life it will bring us at last.
4 The Lord is become our salvation and song, His blessings have follow'd us all our life long; His name will we praise while we have any breath Be cheerful in life, and be happy in death.
" Lead me to the Rock."

u Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I!"
2 When tempted by Satan the Spirit to grieve, And the service of Christ, my Redeemer to leave, I'll claim my relation to Jesus on high —
The Rock of salvation, that's higher than II
3 When judgments, O Lord, are abroad in the land, And merited vengeance descends from thy hand! O'erwhelmed with the sight, for protection I'll fly, And hide in the Rock, that is higher than I !
4 When summoned by death before God to appear, By free-grace supported I'll yield without fear! Most gladly I'll venture with Jesus on high,
To enter the Rock that is higher than I!
5 'Tis there, with the chosen of Jesus, I long To dwell, and eternally join in the song,
Of praising and blessing with angels on high, Christ Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I!

The Lord our righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace . On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom still maintains ; And glorious, with his saints in light,
Forever reigns.

He guards them by his side, Arrays in garments white and pure,
His spotless bride ; Willi streams of sacred bliss,
With groves of living joys, With all the fruits of paradise,
He still supplies.

They all exulting stand, And tell the wonders he hath done,
Through all their land. The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame, And sing in songs which never end [5] The wondrous Name.

No gloomy fears their souls dismay
His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him.

Behold his wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.

In the sea of unbelief; Wait with patient, constant praying,
Christ will grant you sweet relief. Are you weary, heavy laden ?
He will give you sweet repose; Bear his lijjht and easy burden,
He shall conquer all your foes.

All your wants shall be supplied : Canaan, Canaan, lies before you,
Rise, and cross the swelling tide. Death shall not destroy your comfort,

Of the last tremendous days, See the flaming Revelation!
See the universal blaze! Earth and heaven
Melt before the Judge's face. Sun and moon are both confounded,
Darken'd into endless night, When with angel-hosts surrounded,
In his Father's glory bright, Beams the Savior,
Shines the everlasting light. See the stars from heaven falling !
Hark ! on earth the doleful cry! Men on rocks and mountains calling,
While the frowning Judge draws nigh; Hide us, hide us,
Rock and mountains, from his eye! With what different exclamation
Shall the saints his banner see! By the monuments of his passion,
By the marks received for me! All discern him,
All with shouts cry out — "Tis He!" "Lo! 'tis He! our heart's desire,
Come for his espoused below; Come to join us with the choir,
Come to make our joys o'erflow: Palms of victory,
Crowns of glory to bestow." Yes, the prize shall sure be given;
We his open face shall see: Love, the earnest of our heaven,
Love our full reward shall be, Love shall crown us
Kings thro' all eternity

Tlie Judgment.
2 Hear the sinner thus lamenting, At the thoughts of future pain; Cries and tears he now is venting, But he cries and weeps in vain:
Greatly mourning That he ne'er was born again.
S M Yonder stands the glorious Savior, With the marks of dying love; Oh, that I had sought his favor, When I felt his Spirit move!
Doomed justly, For I have against him strove.
4 "All his warnings I have slighted,
While he daily sought my soul; If some vows to him I plighted, Yet for sin I broke the whole:
Golden moments, How neglected did they roll!
5 M Yonder stand my godly neighbors,
Who were once despised by me; They are clad in dazzling splendor, Waiting my sad fate to see —
Farewell, neighbors; Dismal gulf! I'm bound for thee?
6 Now, despisers, look and wonder,
Hope and sinners here must part; Louder than a peal of thunder,
Hear the dreadful sound, " Depart "
Lost forever! How it quails the sinner's heart!

We're going to see the bleeding Lamb, — Will you go ?
In rapturous strains to praise his name, — Will you go I The crown of life we there shall wear, The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear,
And all the joys of heaven weil share, — Will you go?
3 We're going to join the Heavenly Choir, — Will you go ? To raise our voice and tune the lyre, — Will you go ?
There saints and angels gladly sing,
Hosanna to their God and King, And make the heavenly arches ring, — Will you go ?
4 Ye weary, heavy laden, come, — Will you go ? In the blest house there still is room, — Will you go ?
The Lord is waiting to receive,
If thou wilt on him now believe, He'll give thy troubled conscience ease, — Come believe!
5
The way to Heaven is free for all — Will you go?
For Jew and Gentile — great and small,— Will you go?
Make up your mind, give God your heart,
With every sin and idol part, And now for glory, make a start, — Come away!
6 The way to Heaven is strait and plain, — Will you go ? Repent, believe, be born again, — Will you go ?
The Savior cries aloud to thee,
" Take up thy cross and follow me," And thou shalt my salvation see, — Come to me!
7 O, could I hear some sinner say, — I will go? I'll start this moment, clear the way, — Let me go! My old companions, fare you well, I will not go with you to hell, I mean with Jesus Christ to dwell, — Let me go! Fare you [6] 'wet!.

Tho' you have much peace and
comfort, Greater things you yet may find, Freedom from unholy tempera, Freedom from the carnal mind. To procure your perfect freedom, Jesus suffer'd, groan'd, and died, On the cross the healing fountain, Gushed from his wounded side.
Be as holy and as happy, And as useful here below, As it is your Father's pleasure, Jesus, only Jesus know. Spread, O spread the holy fire, Tell, O tell what God has done, Till the nations are conformed To the image of his Son.

If you have obtained this treasure, Witnesses might be produced, Search and you shall surely find Of this glorious work of love, All the Christian marks and graces, Paul and James, and John and Peter, Planted, growing, in your mind. Long before they went above. Perfect fuith,and perfect patience, Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, Perfect lowliness, and then Have, and do, and will appear \
Perfect hope, and perfect meekness, Let me ask the solemn question, Perfect love for God and man. Has the Lord a witness here.
4 7
But be sure to gain the witness, Wake up brother, wake up sister, Which abides both day and night ; Seek, O seek this holy state-, This your God has plainly promis'd, None but holy ones Crin enter This is like a stream of light. Thro' the pure celestial jzate.
While you keep the blessed witness, Can you bear the tho't of losing All is clear and calm within •, All the joys that are above ?
God himself assures you by it No, my brother, no, my sistrr.
That your heart is cleansed from God will perfect you in lore.

Ye mourning pilgrims, cease your tears,
And hush each sigh of sorrow; The light of that bright morn appears,—
The long sabbatic morrow. Lift up your heads — behold from far
A flood of splendor streaming! It is the bright and Morning-Star,
In living lustre beaming! 3 And see that star-like host around
Of angel bands, attending; Hark! hark! the trumpets glad'ning sound,
'Mid shouts triumphant blending. He comes, the Bridegroom promised long- Go forth with joy to meet him; And raise the new and nuptial song,
In cheerful strains to greet him. 4 Adorn thyself, the feast prepare,
While bridal strains are swelling; He comes, with thee all joys to share,
And make this earth his dwelling. Lift up your heads — behold from far
A flood of splendor streaming! It is the bright and Morning-Star,
In living lustre beaming !

No peaceful sheltering dome;

This world is not my home.
S To Jesus Christ I sought for rest,
He bade me cease to roam;
And fly for succor to his breast,
And he'd conduct me home.
4 I would at once have quit this place, Where foes in fury roam,
But ah! my passport was not sealed, I could not yet go home.
5 When by afflictions sharply tried, I view the gaping tomb;
Although I dread death's chilling flood, Yet still I si«gh for home.

I long to leave th'unhallowed ground, And dwell with Christ at home.

3 Though sinners persecute me here, Through Jesus Christ I'll persevere; Christ will ruin Satan's kingdom — Will you go along with me?
4 A little longer here below,
Then home to glory we shall go: — I am on my way to glory — Will you go along with me?

In these last days to me, That deathless I may rise to heaven,

He will not tarry long, And fill with love the hours that bring

There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads; A place than all besides more sweet, It is the blood-bought Mercy Seat.
3
There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common Mercy Seat.
4 Ah ! whither should we flee for aid When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no Mercy Seat?
5 There, there on angel's wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more; The Lord comes down our souls to greet, And gloiy crowns the Mercy Seat.
6 O Let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold and still; This bounding heart forget to beat If I forget the Mercy Seat.

2 On a refulgent cloud,
Jesus, the Judge, appears; The saints rejoice aloud,
The guilty sinner fears. On the white throne he takes his seat, And views the myriads at his feet.
3 'Midst the vast multitude,
His eye omniscient sees The purchase of his blood
And dying agonies: Then calls them forth and bids them stand With glory crown'd at his right hand.
4 "Come, souls forever blest,"
He says, " my people come, Possess the promised rest, Enter your heavenly home; No more shall aught your peace annoy, Inherit everlasting joy."
5 But in what awful sounds
The wicked are addressed! Heaven with their groans resounds,
As on his left they 're placed. "Depart ye curs'd the Judge exclaims, "To be destroyed in burning flames!"
6 Oh! thou eternal God,
Ere this tremendous day, Cleanse me in Jesus' blood,
Wash all my guilt away. Then may I join the happy throng, To praise thee in eternal song.

pover-ty he's hap-py, For he knows he has a friend Who
nev-er will for-sake him, And on whom he can de - pend.
2 He rises in the morning,
With the lark he tunes his lays, And offers up a tribute
To his God in prayer and praise; And then unto his labor
He cheerfully repairs, In confidence believing
His God will hear his prayers. Whatever he engages in,
At home or far abroad. His object is to honor
And to glorify his God.
MILLENNIAL HARP. 33
In sickness, pain and sorrow
He never will repine, While he is drawing nourishment
From Christ the living vine. When trouble presses heavily,
He leans on Jesus' breast, And in his precious promises
He finds a quiet rest. The yoke of Christ is easy,
The burden always light; They never make him weary
While Canaan is in sight. 'Tis thus you have his history
Through life from day to day; Religion is no mystery,
It is a beaten way; And when upon his pillow
He lays him down to die, His soul in hope rejoices,
For he knows his God is nigh. And when life's lamp is flickering,
His soul on wings of love Flies away to realms of glory,
To dwell with Christ above, Then he'll be forever happy,
For he's joined the holy band, He's received the crown of glory
And a palm is in his hand; With saints and priests and prophets,
He'll strike the golden lyre, And shout loud hallelujahs With all the heavenly choir.
He's happy now eternally, His joys are all complete,
With his angels he is bowing Around the Savior's feet.

2 Rests secure the righteous man,
At his Redeemer's beck Sure t'emerge and rise again,
And mount above the wreck. Lo! the heavenly spirit towers,
Like flames o'er nature's funeral pyre, Triumphs in immortal powers,
And claps his wings of fire!
Nothing hath the just to lose,
By worlds on worlds destroyed; Far beneath his feet he views,
With smiles, the flaming void; Sees this universe renewed,
The grand millennial reign begun; Shouts with all the sons of God,
Around th' eternal throne.
Resting in this glorious hope,
To be at last restored, Yield we now our bodies up,
To earthquake, plague or sword. List'ning for the call divine,
The latest trumpet of the seven, Soon our soul and dust shall join,
And both fly up to heaven.

2 My soul was sad, mine eyes did weep, I had no rest, I could not sleep. And is it true the Master's nigh? Have mercy, Lord, was all my cry.
3 I sought the Lord with all my might, He heard my prayer and gave me light, Filled me with joy — I love to hear The solemn cry, the Bridegroom's near.
4 I love to tell to all around What peace and comfort 1 have found. I love to echo still the cry, Behold the Heavenly Bridegroom's nigh.
5 My soul is fill'd with love divine, I feel I'm his, that he is mine; My Savior and my gracious Lord, And he will come, so says his word.
6 Yes, He will come, He's nigh at hand, I soon shall join the blood-washed band, To sing his praise, his glory see, And reign with Him eternally.

2 Then let the thundering trumpet sound,
The latest lightnings glare; The mountains melt, the solid ground
Dissolve as liquid air; The huge celestial bodies roll
Amidst the general fire, And shrivel as a parchment scroll,
And all in smoke expire!
3 Yet still the Lord, the Savior, reigns,
When nature is destroyed, And no created thing remains
Throughout the flaming void. Sublime upon his azure throne,
He speaks th' Almighty word; His fiat is obeyed; 'tis done,
And paradise restored.
4 So be it! let this system end,
This ruinous earth and skies! The New Jerusalem descend,
The new creation rise! Thy power omnipotent assume!
Thy brightest majesty! And when thou dost in glory come,
My Lord, remember me! 6*

2 Our mourning is all at an end,
When raised by the life-giving Word, We see the new city descend.
Adorned as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean,
No sorrow can breathe in the airj No gloom of affliction or sin;
No shadow of evil is there;
3 By faith we already behold
That lovely Jerusalem here; Her walls are of jasper and gold,
As crystal her buildings are clear: Immovably founded in grace,
She stands, as she ever hath stood. And brightly her Builder displays,
And flames with the glory of God.
4 No need of the sun in that day,
Which never is followed by night, Where Jesus's beauties display
A pure and a permanent light: The Lamb is their light and their sub,
And lo! by reflection they shine; With Jesus ineffably one,
And bright in effulgence divine!
5 The saints in his presence receive
Their great and eternal reward; In Jesus, in heaven they live,
They reign in the smile of their Lordl The flame of angelical love
Is kindled at Jesus's face; And all the enjoyment above
Consists in the rapturoui gaze.

PART III.
THE GREAT BATTLE.
HYMN 1. L. P. M.
PART FIRST.
Hosannah ! hark, the melody- Strikes sweetly on my ravished ear ! The constellations make reply In echoes from each distant sphere, Till all the wide expansion rings With " Live forever, King of kings ! "
He comes ! he comes ! the heavens rend !
Floods, clap your hands ! ye moun- tains, joy !
Forests, in glad obeisance bend !
Earth, raise your hallelujahs high !
Let Zion wake the lofty strain —
" Live, King of kings ! forever reign ! "
THE GREAT BATTLE. 6
Ripe is the vintage of the earth ;
Its clustering grapes are round and
full ) And vengeance, vengeance bursts to
birth, Sudden and irresistible ! Messiah comes, to tread amain The wine-press of the battle-plain !
The cry is up, the strife begun, The struggle of the mighty ones ; And Armageddon's day comes on, The carnival of Slaughter's sons; War lifts his helmet to his brow : 0 God ! protect thy people now !
PART SECOND.
The graves are cleaved ! the saints
arise ! The resurrection of the just ! And now, unto their kindred skies, Up leap the tenants of the dust ! They rise to meet their Lord in air, And tune their hallelujahs there.
Wake, Zion, wake ! put on thy
strength ! Don thy rich garb, Jerusalem !
4 THE GREAT BATTLE.
Rise, shine ! thy light is come at
length, And thou the wicked shalt condemn. But hark ! the war-whoop nearer
sounds ! From land to land Destruction hounds !
7 Assemble quickly, fowls of air ! Come to the supper of the Lord : The great ones of the earth prepare To reap the harvest of the sword ; And captains' flesh shall be your food, And ye shall drink of heroes, blood.
8 The cry is up, the strife begun ; Destruction spreads from field to field ; And soon shall Slaughter's work be
done, — Soon shall Abaddon's legions yield ; Unnumbered thousands shall be slain, Ere day break on Megiddo's plain.
- PART THIRD.
9 Down, Babylon! down, Mahomet! Impostor and Apostate, down ! Your day is past, your sun is set ; Now reap the whirlwind ye have
sown :
THE GREAT BATTLE. O
Drink — yea, drink deep — the wine 's
poured forth, The red wine of Jehovah's wrath.
10 They drink ! they drink ! they fall !
they fall! With all their sorceries and charms ; And Desolation grasps them all Within his vast and withering arms ; The " strong one " has them in his
toil: When, lo ! a Stronger shares the
spoil !
11 Yea, come, 0 king! and take the
spoil;
With thy confederates share the prey:
Ha ! ha ! Death " grins a ghastly smile ;"
The morning dawns — and where are they ?
The flames, the flames, great Auto- crat,
Spread o'er thee in Jehosaphat !
THE NEW JERUSALEM.
HYMN 2. C. M.
1 Another weary day is past,
I 'm waiting still for thee ; 0, keep me, Savior, till the last,
And set my spirit free. I long to know thee as thou art,
And reign with thee in life ; O, let this longing, fainting heart
Now end the mortal strife.
2 With thine immortal image seal
This feeble creature thine ; And all thy glory then reveal,
And let me in it shine. I would be where thou art : 0 come !
No longer now delay ; But take thy weeping children home,
From sin and grief aw*iy.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 7
Jesus, our hope, our life, our heaven,
The lingering times have flown ; To thee the Kingdom now is given ;
Return, and claim thine own. And, as we wait, along the skies
Unearthly glory steals, And our glad spirits seem to rise,
To haste thy chariot wheels*
Although they seem to linger, still
Thy retinue on high Is marshalled, and awaits the will
That bids their myriads fly. Then we will wait, nor deem too long
The closing hours of grace, But trim our lamps with cheerful song,
Till we shall see thy face.
HYMN 3. 8 & 7.
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God ! He whose word cannot be broken,
Formed 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.
THE NEW JERUSALEM.
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 t' assuage ? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age ?
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood ! Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God: 'T is his love his people raises
Over self to reign as kings; And as priests, his solemn praises
Each for a thank-offering brings.
Savior, if of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 9
HYMN 4. C. M.
1 Arise and shine, 0 Zion fair,
Behold, thy light is come, Thy glorious conquering King is near,
To take his exiles home ; The trumpet's sounding through the sky
To set poor sinners free ; The day of wonders now is nigh,
The year of jubilee.
2 Arise, ye nations under ground,
Before the Judge appear ; All tongues, all languages, shall come,
Their final doom to hear. King Jesus on his azure throne,
Ten thousand angels round ; While Gabriel, with his silver trump,
Echoes the dreadful sound.
3 The glorious news of gospel grace
With sinners now is o'er; The trump in Zion now is still,
And to be blown no more ■ The watchmen all have left their walls,
And with their flocks above,
10 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
On Canaan's happy shore they sing, And shout redeeming love.
HYMN 5. 6 lines 8s.
Leader of faithful souls, and guide Of all that travel to the sky,
Come, and with us, e'en us, abide, Who would on thee alone rely ;
On thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life's uneven way.
Strangers and pilgrims here below, This earth, we know, is not our place ;
But hasten through the vale of wo, And restless to behold thy face,
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above.
We have no 'biding city here, But seek a city out of sight;
Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light,
Jerusalem, the saints1 abode,
Whose founder is the living God.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 11
SECOND PART.
4 Patient th* appointed race to run,
This weary world we cast behind ; From strength to strength we travel on,
The New Jerusalem to find ; Our labor this, our only aim, To find the New Jerusalem.
5 Through thee, who all our sins hast
borne,
Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return,
Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King; We find it nearer while we sing.
6 Raised by the breath of love divine,
We urge our way with strength renewed, The church of the first-born to join;
We travel to the mount of God ; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Savior in the skies.
HYMN 6. 8 lines 8s. 1 I long to behold him arrayed
With glory and light from above; The King in his beauty displayed, His beauty of holiest love :
12 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
I languish and sigh to be there, Where Jesus hath fixed his abode ;
O, when shall we meet in the air, And fly to the mountain of God ?
2 With him I on Sion shall stand, —
For Jesus has spoken the word, — The breadth of Immanuel's land
Survey by the light of my Lord. But when, on thy bosom reclined,
Thy face I am strengthened to see, My fulness of rapture I find,
My heaven of heavens, in thee.
3 How happy the people that dwell
Secure in the city above ! No pain the inhabitants feel,
No sickness or sorrow shall prove ; Physician of souls, unto me
Forgiveness and holiness give, And then from the body set free,
And then to the city receive.
HYMN 7. P. M.
1 Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring To my raptured vision All the ecstatic joys that spring Round the bright Elysian !
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 13
Lo ! we lift our longing eyes : Break, ye intervening skies ! Sons of righteousness, arise ! Ope the gates of paradise !
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest, And dwell where loving Jesus is !
2 Floods of everlasting light
Freely flash before him ; Myriads, with supreme delight,
Instantly adore him ; Angels' trumps resound his fame ; Lutes of lucid gold proclaim All the music of his name, Heaven echoing the theme.
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest, And dwell where loving Jesus is !
3 Four and twenty elders rise
From their princely station ; Shout his glorious victories,
Sing his great salvation ; Cast their crowns before his throne ; Cry, in reverential tone, Glory be to God alone, Holy, holy, holy One !
14 THE NEW JERUSALEM. CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest, And dwell where loving Jesus is !
4 Hark ! the thrilling symphonies Seem, methinks, to seize us ; Join we to the holy lays —
Jesus ! Jesus ! Jesus ! Sweetest sound in seraphs' song; Sweetest note on mortals' tongue ; Sweetest carol ever sung : Jesus ! Jesus ! flow along.
CHORUS.
O, how good it is to be blest, And dwell where loving Jesus is !
HYMN 8. C. M.
1 Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! Zion shall yet arise, In all the beauty of the Lord, Beneath thy own fair skies, When thou shalt come bowed down and low, Repentant and in tears, With offerings of broken hearts, And faith of holy seers.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 15
2 Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! Messiah he is king; Lift up thy voice from every hill,
Let every valley sing ; Lengthen thy cords, strengthen thy stakes, Break out on every hand, Thou blessed of the Lord of hosts, And glory of the land !
HYMN 9. P. M.
1 When the King of kings comes, When the Lord of lords comes ; We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes : Great Babylon is broken down, And kingdoms once of great re- nown, And saints now suffering wear the crown, When the King of kings comes.
2 When the trump of God calls, When the last of foes falls ; We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes ■
16 THE NEW JERUSALEM.
0, then the saints, raised from the
dead, Are with the living gathered, And all made like their glorious Head, When the King of kings comes.
3 When the foe's distress comes, Then the church's " rest " comes ; We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes : And then the new Jerusalem, Surpassing all report and fame, Shines worthy of its Maker's name,
When the King of kings comes.
4 When the world its course has run, When the judgment is begun ; We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes : To see the sons of God well known, All spotless to their Father shown, And Jesus all his brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.
5 When the Conqueror's hour comes, When he with great power comes ; We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes :
3
THE NEW JERUSALEM. 17
To see all things by him restored, And God himself alone adored By all the saints, with one accord, When the King of kings comes.
HYMN 10. 8s.
A city appears to our view,
Where pilgrims will ever reside ; If faithful they prove, and are true,
Will dwell with the Lamb as his bride. From heaven this city descends,
Above the ethereal blue ; The saints will inhabit it, when
To earth they have all bade adieu.
No sun shall illumine that land,
N>r stars in its galaxy shine ; Bui Ji'der and harmony grand
Will be in each portion sublime. No darkness shall ever prevail,
But light inexpressible reign ; No demon our rights shall assail,
To mar in that heavenly plain.
The walls of this city are high, Her light 's like a jasper most clear;
b THE NEW JERUSALEM.
When she falls from the azure blue sky, She will dwell with the holy who fear. Its streets are pellucid, fine gold ;
No temple, but God and the Lamb, Our eyes shall there ever behold, For they are the light of that land.
HYMN 11. 5&6.
1 0 tell me no more
Of this world's vain store, The time for such trifles With me now is o'er.
2 A city I 've found
Where true joys abound; To dwell I 'm determined On this happy ground.
3 My soul, don't delay,
He calls thee away ; Rise, follow thy Savior, And bless the glad day.
KINGDOM OF GOD.
HYMN 12. L. M.
1 Thy kingdom come ! thus, day by
day, We lift our hands to God and pray; But who has ever duly weighed The meaning of the words he said ?
2 Thy kingdom come ! 0 day of joy, When praise shall every tongue em- ploy;
When hatred, strife and battles cease And man with man shall be at peace.
3 Then bears and wolves, no longer
wild, Obey the leading of a child ; The lions with the oxen eat, And dust shall be the serpent's meat
20 KINGDOM OF GOD.
4 Then all shall know and serve the
Lord, And walk according to his word ; His glory spread around shall be, As waters cover o'er the sea.
5 God's holy will shall then he done By all who live beneath the sun ; And every evil will remove,
For God will reign, and " God is love/
HYMN 13. L. M.
1 Great God, whose universal sway All heaven reveres, all worlds obey, Now make the Savior's glory known, Extend his power, exalt his throne.
2 Thy sceptre well becomes his hands, Angels submit to his commands ; His justice shall protect the poor, And pride and rage prevail no more.
3 With power he vindicates the just, And treads th' oppressor in the dust ; His righteous government shall last, Till days, and years, and time be past.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 21
HYMN 14. L. M.
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run ; His kingdom stretch from shore to
shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 To him shall endless prayers be made, And praises throng to crown his head ; His name, like sweet perfume shall
rise With every daily sacrifice.
3 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ; The prisoner leaps to loose his chains; The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blessed.
4 Where he displays his healing power, The sting of death is known no more ; In him the sons of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost,
HYMN 15. 7 & 6.
1 Hail to the Lord's anointed ! Great David's greater Son;
22 KINGDOM OF GOD.
Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun !
He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free ;
To take away transgression, And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy,
To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying
Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down, like showers
Upon the fruitful earth, And love and joy, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth ; Before him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go, And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend ;
KINGDOM OF GOD. 23
His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end ;
The tide of time shall never His covenant remove ;
His name shall stand forever ; That name to us is — Love.
HYMN 16. 10s.
1 The Savior comes, by ancient bards
foretold ;
Hear him, ye deaf, and all ye blind, behold !
*T is he the obstructed paths of sound shall clear,
And bid new music charm th' unfold- ing ear.
2 No more shall nation against nation
rise,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hate- ful eyes,
No fields with gleaming steel be cov- ered o'er,
The brazen trumpets kindle rage no more.
24
KINGDOM OF GOI>.
3 The Iambs with wolves shall graze
the verdant mead,
And boys in flowery bands the tiger lead ;
The steer and lion at one crib shall meet,
And harmless serpents lick the pil- grim's feet.
4 Rise, crowned with light, imperial
Salem, rise ! Exalt thy towery head, and lift thy
eyes ! See barbarous nations at thy gates
attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple
bend.
5 The seas shall waste, the skies in
smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains
melt away ; But fixed his word, his saving power
remains, Thy realm forever lasts — Messiah
reigns.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 25
HYMN 17. 7 & 6.
1 From Greenland's ic}^ mountains,
From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand ; From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle — Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile ? — In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown ; The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
By wisdom from on high — Shall we to man benighted
The lamp of life deny? — Salvation ! — oh, salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name. 2
26 KINGDOM OF GOD.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story ;
And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ; Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator,
Returns in bliss to reign.
HYMN 18. S. M.
1 Rejoice ! the Lord is King !
Your Lord and King adore ; Ye ransomed saints, give thanks and sing, And triumph evermore !
2 The mighty Savior reigns,
The God of truth and love ; When he himself had purged our stains, He took his seat above.
3 His kingdom cannot fail ;
He rules o'er earth and heaven ; The sovereign keys of death and hell Into his hands are given.
4 He sits at God's right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
KINGDOM OF GOD. 27
And humbly bow to his command, And fall beneath his feet.
5 Rejoice in glorious hope !
Jesus, the Judge, shall come, And take his waiting servants up To their eternal home.
HYMN 19. 7 & 6.
1 And when the last loud trumpet
Shall rend the vaulted skies, And bid the entombed millions
From their cold beds arise, Our ransomed dust, revived,
Bright beauties shall put on, And soar to the blest mansions
Where our Redeemer 's gone.
2 Our eyes shall then, with rapture,
The Savior's face behold ! Our feet, no more diverted,
Shall walk the streets of gold ! Our ears shall hear with transport
The hosts celestial sing ! Our tongues shall chant the glory
Of our immortal King.
28 KINGDOM OF GOD.
HYMN 20. P. M.
1 Now let us sing the coming fate Of mystic Babylon the Great, —
Her doom is drawing near; Jesus now comes on earth to reign, His cause and people to maintain,
For them he 11 soon appear.
2 Before him flows a fiery stream, The heavens above with lightnings
gleam,
A thousand thunders roar; A heavenly host with him descends, His voice to all the earth extends,
His saints now grieve no more.
3 Eclipsed by glory so divine,
Sun, moon, and stars refuse to shine, The heavens a burning scroll ;
The day is broke that has no night ;
Earth, struck with horror at the sight, Now quakes from pole to pole.
4 Angels of light, at his command, Ten thousand times ten thousand,
stand,
Waiting his voice to hear ; The fiery cherubs spread their wings, The air with loud hosannas rings,
While all his saints draw near.
KINGDOM OF GOD. 29
5 The day of recompense has come, His people all are gathering home,
With joy they hear his voice ; The promised curse, the threatened
woes, Combined, now fall upon his foes,
The martyrs all rejoice.
6 She, who the twelve apostles grieved, And by her sorceries deceived
All nations of the world, Now looks with anguish at their
bliss, Then sinks into the vast abyss,
To endless ruin hurled.
7 The living saints, and all the dead, Now gather round their glorious
Head,
And reign with him below, A thousand years of perfect peace, Of love, and joy, and righteousness,
Exempt from every wo.
8 Then let us keep the end in view, And ever on our way pursue ;
The crown is yet before ; A few short days, the conflict 's done, The battle 's fought, the prize is won,
And we shall toil no more.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
HYMN 21. lis.
1 The pleasures of earth I have seen
fade away, They bloom for a season, but soon
they decay ; But pleasures more lasting in Jesus
are given, Salvation on earth, and a mansion in
heaven. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, The saints in those mansions are
ever at home.
2 Allure me no longer, ye false glowing
charms ; The Savior invites me, I '11 go to his
arms; At the banquet of mercy I hear there
is room,
DESIRE OF THE BEIDE. 31
0 there may I feast with his children
at home ! Home, home, sweet, sweet home— O Jesus, conduct me to heaven, my
home.
3 Farewell, vain amusements, my fol-
lies, adieu, While Jesus, and heaven, and glory I view ;
1 feast on the pleasures that flow from
his throne, The foretaste of heaven, sweet hea- ven, my home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, O when shall I share the fruition of home !
4 The days of my exile are passing
away, The time is approaching when Jesus
will say, " Well done, faithful servant, sit down
on my throne, And dwell in my presence, forever at
home." Home, home, sweet, sweet home, O there I shall rest with the Savior
at home.
32 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
5 Affliction and sorrow and death shall be o'er, The saints shall unite to be parted no
more ; Their loud hallelujahs fill heaven's
high dome, They dwell with the Savior, forever at home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, They dwell with the Savior, for- ever at home.
HYMN 22. 8, 8, & 6.
1 0 glorious hope of heavenly love ! It lifts me up to things above ;
It bears on eagles' wings ; It gives my ravished soul a taste, And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus' priests and kings.
2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain-top
See all the land below; Rivers of milk and honey rise, And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 33
A land of corn, and wine, and oil, Favored with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest; There dwells the Lord our Right- eousness, And keeps his own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.
0 that I might at once go up ! No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess ! This moment end my legal years, Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears,
A howling wilderness.
Now, 0 my Joshua, bring me in ! Cast out thy foes ; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind, remove ; The purchase of thy death divide ; And, 0 ! with all the sanctified,
Give me a lot of love.
HYMN 23. L. M.
0 Savior, is thy promise fled ? Nor longer might thy grace endure, To heal the sick and raise the dead, And preach thy gospel to the poor ?
34 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
2 Come, Jesus, come ! return again ; With brighter beam thy servants bless, Who long to feel thy perfect reign, And share thy kingdom's happiness.
3 A feeble race, by passion driven, In darkness and in doubt we roam, And lift our anxious eyes to heaven, Our hope, our harbor, and our home.
4 Yet, mid the wild and wintry gale, When death rides darkly o'er the sea, And strength and earthly daring fail, Our prayers, Redeemer, rest on thee !
5 Come, Jesus, come ! and as, of yore, The prophet went to clear thy way, A harbinger thy feet before,
A dawning to thy brighter day, —
6 So now may grace, with heavenly
shower, Our stony hearts for truth prepare ; Sow in our souls the seed of power, Then come and reap thy harvest there.
HYMN 24. C. M.
1 How happy every child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiven !
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 35
This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven :
A country far from mortal sight, Yet, O, by faith I see
The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me.
2 0, what a blessed hope is ours !
While here on earth we stay, We more than taste the heavenly powers,
And antedate that day ; We feel the resurrection near,
Our life in Christ concealed, And with his glorious presence here
Our earthen vessels filled.
3 0, would he all of heaven bestow !
Then like our Lord we '11 rise ; Our bodies, fully ransomed, go
To take the glorious prize. On him with rapture then I '11 gaze,
Who bought the bliss for me, And shout and wonder at his grace,
Through all eternity.
HYMN 25. C. M. 1 I know that my Redeemer lives, And ever prays for me ;
36 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
A token of his love he gives, A pledge of liberty.
2 Jesus, I hang upon thy word ;
I steadfastly believe Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord* And to thyself receive.
3 Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
To meet thee from above ; Thy goodness thankfully adores, And sure I taste thy love.
4 Thy love I soon expect to find,
In all its depth and height ; To comprehend th' Eternal Mind, And grasp the Infinite.
5 When God is mine, and I am his,
Of paradise possessed, I taste unutterable bliss, And everlasting rest.
6 The bliss of those that fully dwell,
Fully in thee believe, 'T is more than angel tongues can tell, Or angel minds conceive.
7 Thou only know'st who didst obtain,
And die to make it known ; The great salvation now explain, And perfect us in one.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 37
HYMN 26. 7 & 6.
1 0 when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with him above ; And from that flowing fountain
Drink everlasting love ? When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin, And, with my blessed Jesus,
Drink endless pleasures in ?
2 But now I am a soldier ;
My Captain 's gone before ; He 's given me my orders,
And bade me not give o'er. If I continue faithful,
A righteous crown he '11 give, And all his valiant soldiers
Eternal life shall have.
3 Through grace I am determined
To conquer, though I die ; And then away to Jesus
On wings of love I '11 fly. Farewell to sin and sorrow,
I bid you all adieu ; And, 0 my friends, be faithful,
And on your way pursue.
38 DESIRE OF THE BRIDE.
HYMN 27. 8, 8, & 6.
1 When thou, my righteous Judge, shall
come To call thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand ? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand ?
2 I love to meet among them now, Before thy gracious throne to bow,
Though weakest of them all; But can I bear the piercing thought, To have my worthless name left out,
When thou for them shalt call ?
3 Prevent, prevent it, by thy grace ! Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place,
In that expected day. Thy pard'ning voice O let me hear, To still each unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall, I pray.
4 Let me among thy saints be found Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall
sound, To see thy smiling face ;
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 39
Then loud through all the crowd I '11
sing, While heaven's resounding mansions
ring With shouts of endless grace.
HYMN 28. L. M.
We long to see that happy time,
That long-expected, blissful day, When men of every name and clime
The glorious Savior shall obey. The word of God shall firm abide,
Though earth and hell should dare oppose ; The stone cut from the mountain's side
The powers of earth and hell o'er- throws. From east to west, from south to north,
Immanuel's kingdom shall extend, And man, wherever he goes forth,
Shall find all brethren, each a friend. Afric's emancipated sons
Shall shout to Asia's rapturous song ; Europe, with her unnumbered tongues,
And western climes, the strain pro- long.
40 DESIRE OP THE BRIDE.
HYMN 29. L. M.
1 On Tabor's top the Savior stands ; His altered face resplendent shines. And while he elevates his hands, Lo, glory marks its gentle lines !
2 Two heavenly forms descend to wait Upon their suffering Prince below : But while they worship at his feet, They talk of fast approaching wo.
3 Amid the lustre of the scene, To Calvary he turns his eyes, And, with submission all serene, He marks the future tempest rise.
4 Then let us climb the mount of prayer, Where all his beaming glories shine And, gazing on his brightness there, Our woes forget in joys divine.
5 O that on yonder heavenly hills, Where now the risen Savior stands, And peace, like softest dew, distils, I, too, may elevate my hands.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 41
HYMN 30. 5 & 6.
1 Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail,
And foes all unite ; Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide : The Scripture assures us
The Lord will provide.
2 His call we obey
Like Abra'am of old, Not knowing the way ;
But faith makes us bold : For, though we are strangers,
We have a sure guide, And trust, in all dangers,
The Lord will provide.
3 When Satan appears
To stop up our path, And fill us with fears,
We triumph by faith ; He cannot take from us,
Though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise —
The Lord will provide. 2*
42 DESIRE OF THE BRUTE,
4 He tells us we 're weak,
Our hope is in vain, The good that we seek
We ne'er shall obtain ; But when such suggestions
Our graces have tried, This answers all questions—
The Lord will provide.
5 No strength of our own,
Or goodness, we claim ; Yet, since we have known
The Savior's great name, In this our strong tower
For safety we hide — The Lord is our power,
The Lord will provide.
6 When life sinks apace
And death is in view, This word of his grace
Shall comfort us through ; No fearing or doubting,
With Christ on our sider We hope to fly shouting —
The Lord will provide.
DESIRE OF THE BRIDE. 43
HYMN 31. C. M.
1 0, what hath Jesus bought for me !
Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see,
And trees of paradise. I see a world of spirits bright,
Who taste the pleasures there ; They all are robed in spotless white,
And conquering palms they bear.
2 In hope of that immortal crown,
I now the cross sustain; And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toil and pain : I suffer on my threescore years,
Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears,
And take his exile home.
3 0, what are all my sufferings here,
If, Lord, thou count me meet With that enraptured host t' appear,
And worship at thy feet ? Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away ; But let me find them all again
In that eternal day !
THE ALARM.
HYMN 32. 7s.
Watchman ! tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are. Traveler! o'er yon mountain's height
See that glory-beaming star ! Watchman ! does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell? Trav'ller ! yes ; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel !
Watchman ! tell us of the night ;
Higher yet that star ascends. Trav'ller ! blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman ! will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth ? Trav'ller ! ages are its own ;
See ! it bursts o'er all the earth !
THE ALARM. 45
Watchman ! tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ller ! darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn ! Watchman ! let thy wandering cease ;
Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ller ! lo, the Prince of Peace,
Lo, the Son of God is come !
HYMN 33. L. M.
Hark ! 't is the warlike clarion : On, to the battle, heroes, on ! To arms ! to arms ! resounds on high The voice of war and victory.
Haste to the battle ! See ! the Lord Waves to the clouds his conquering
sword. To arms ! to arms ! I hear the cry, On, on, to bloodless victory !
The fierce embattled hosts of hell Before the dreadful onset fell. To arms ! to arms ! was once the cry, But now the trump sounds victory !
THE ALARM.
4 Lo ! the white war-horse treads them down, I know the rider by his crown. All hail ! all hail ! his legions cry ; Jesus, be thine the victory !
HYMN 34. 10, 5, & 11.
1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,
Koll round with the year, And never stand still till the Master
appear ! His adorable will let us gladly fulfil,
And our talents improve, By the patience of hope and the labor of love.
2 Our life as a dream, our time as a
stream, Glides swiftly away, And the fugitive moment refuses to
stay. The arrow is flown, the moment is gone; The millennial year Rushes on to our view, and eternity 's here.
THE ALARM. 47
0 that each in the day of his coming
may say, " I have fought my way through ;
1 have finished the work thou didst
give me to do ! "
0 that each from his Lord may re- ceive the glad word, " Well and faithfully done !
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."
HYMN 35. C. M.
1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb ? And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease, Whilst others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas ?
3 Are there no foes for me to face ?
Must I not stem the flood ? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God ?
48 THE ALARM.
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign :
Increase my courage, Lord ; I '11 bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word.
5 Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die ; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.
HYMN 36. 8, 8, & 6.
1 0 God, mine inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress ; Give me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate,
And wake to righteousness.
2 Before me place, in dread array, The pomp of that tremendous day,
When thou with clouds shalt come
THE ALARM. 49
To judge the nations at thy bar : And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom ?
Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss V insure ; Thine utmost counsel to fulfil, And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.
Then, Savior, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale to live
And reign with thee above ! Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.
HYMN 37. lis.
Daughter of Zion ! awake from thy sadness,
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more ;
Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day- star of gladness ;
Arise, for the night of thy sorrows is o'er. 3
50 THE ALARM.
2 Strong were thy foes ; but the arm
that subdued them, And scattered their legions, was
mightier far : They fled like the chaff from the
scourge that pursued them ; How vain were their steeds and their
chariots of war.
3 Daughter of Zion ! the power that
hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the tim- brel shall be ;
Shout ! for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee,
The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free.
HYMN 38. 7s.
1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord, 'T is thy Savior, hear his word ; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee ; " Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me ?
2 " I delivered thee when bound,
And when wounded, healed thy wound ;
THE ALARM. 51
Sought thee wandering, set thee right ; Turned thy darkness into light.
3 " Can a mother's tender care Cease towards the child she bare 7 Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4 " Mine is a redeeming love, Higher than the heights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 " Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done ; Partner of my throne shalt be — Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?"
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint ; Yet I love thee, and adore ;•
0 for grace to love thee more !
HYMN 39. S. M.
1 Awake, and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; Wake, every heart and every tongue, To praise the Savior's name.
52 THE ALARM.
2 Sing of his dying love,
Sing of his rising power; Sing how he intercedes above For those whose sins he bore.
3 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing; Sing on, rejoicing every day In Christ, the Eternal King.
4 Soon shall we hear him say,
" Ye blessed children, come ;" Soon will he call us hence away, And take his wanderers home.
5 Soon shall our raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.
HYMN 40. S. M.
1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify ; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil ;
THE ALARM. 53
0 may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will.
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live ; And 0 thy servant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give. ■
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely, Assured if I my trust betray
I shall forever die.
HYMN 41. 7 & 6.
Come, brethren dear, and sisters,
Although a little band, The victory I '11 assure you,
Stand fast with sword in hand ; Then wield your sword with pleas- ure,
The battle goes aright; When Israel gained the victory,
He fought with faith and might.
How beautiful the garments The bride of Christ doth wear;
He offers her rich presents, And crowns her as his heir.
54 THE ALARM.
He decks her with rich jewels,
And crowns her with his lovGj And by his mighty power
Will carry her above. 3 I '11 bid farewell to sorrow,
To sickness, care, and pain, And mount aloft to Jesus,
Forever there to reign. I '11 join to sing his praises
Above th' ethereal blue ; And then, poor careless sinner.
What will become of you ?
HYMN 42. 7s & 6s.
1 The glorious day is coming,
The hour is rolling on, Its radiant light is beaming,
Resplendent as the sun ; In yon bright clouds of heaven
The Savior will appear, And gather all his chosen
To meet him in the air.
2 Then fire, from God descending,
Shall sweep this wide earth o'er, And nations, loud lamenting, Shall sink to rise no more.
THE ALARM.
55
Though tears with groans are blended, Yet still in vain they cry ;
The day of hope is ended, The sinner now must die.
3 But saints shall be victorious,
And joy to meet the Lord ; An earth more bright and glorious
Is promised in his word. Our God himself, there reigning,
Shall wipe all tears away; No clouds or night remaining,
But one eternal day.
4 0, Christian ! wake from sleeping*
And let your works abound ; Be watching, praying, weeping,
For soon the trump will sound. O, sinner ! hear the warning,
TO JESUS QUICKLY FLY! Then you on that blest morning
May meet him in the sky.
HYMN 43. P. M.
1 Speak often to each other,
To cheer the fainting mind ; And often be your voices In pure devotion joined.
56 THE ALARM*
Though trials may await you, The crown before you lies ;
Take courage, brother pilgrims, And soon you '11 win the prize.
2 Ye shall be mine, says Jesus,
In that auspicious day "When I make up my jewels,
Released from cumbrous clay. He '11 polish and refine you
From worthless dross and tin, And to his heavenly kingdom
Will bid you enter in.
3 On that important morning,
When bursting thunders sound, And nimble lightnings waving
Shall wing the gloom profound ; Lift up your heads rejoicing,
And clap your joyful hands ; Lo ! you 're redeemed forever
From death's corrupted bands !

HYMN 44. L. M.
1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy ; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men ; And when, like wand'ring sheep, we
strayed, He brought us to his fold again.
3 We '11 crowd thy gates with thankful
songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand
tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding
praise.

No mortal cares shall seize my breast ; O may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound !
3 When grace has purified my heart, Then I shall share a glorious part ; And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head.

HYMN 47. S. M.
1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise ! Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes !

As grateful incense to the skies ;

So sweet the tidings are ; " Zion, behold thy Savior, King ; He reigns and triumphs here !"
3 How happy are our ears,
That hear the joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light ; Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.

Through all the earth abroad ; Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God.

How he subdued your potent foes,
Subdued the powers of death and hell,
And, dying, finished all your woes.

Returned, while hymning angels
round, Through the bright arches of the sky, The Lord, the conquering Lord,
resound.

Not angel tongues can e'er display The wonders of that dreadful hour — The joys of that illustrious day.

Fill every heart, and every tongue ; Till the full glories of thy face Inspire a sweeter, nobler song.

3 There all the fruits of glory grow,
And joys that never die ; And streams of grace and knowledge flow, The soul to satisfy.
4 Come, set your faces Zionward,
The sacred road inquire ; And let a union to the Lord Be henceforth your desire.

No longer, then, delay; The Spirit waits to guide you right, And Jesus is the way.

Thy promise now fulfil ;

strength !

3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with
dread ; No more shall hell's insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast.
4 God, from on high, has heard thy
prayer, His hand thy ruin shall repair ; Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.
