Lord, send it forth, and let it run,
Swift and reviving as the sun.

2 Guide thou their lips, who stand to tell
Sinners the way that leads from hell:
To those who give, do thou impart
A gen'rous, wise, and tender heart.

3 Lord, crown their zeal, reward their care,
That in thy grace they all may share:
And those who now in darkness dwell,
Deliv'rance sing from guilt and hell.

1 LOOK down, O God, with pitying eye,
And view the desolations round;
See what wide realms in darkness lie,
And hurl their idols to the ground.
2 Lord, let the gospel-trumpet blow,
And call the nations from afar;
Let all the isles their Saviour know,
And earth's remotest ends draw near.
3 Let Satan's cruel kingdom shake,-
The realms of darkness, and of sin;
Messiah now his empire take-
In ev'ry soul his reign begin.

1 ARM of the Lord, awake, awake! Put on thy strength-the nations shake,

And let the world, adoring, see Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee. 2 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. 3 No more let human blood be spilt— Vain sacrifice for human guilt! But to each conscience be applied The blood that flow'd from Jesus' side. 4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim, In ev'ry land, of ev'ry name; Let adverse pow'rs before thee fall, And crown the Saviour-Lord of ALL.

1 WHO, but thou, almighty Spirit,
Can the heathen world reclaim?
Men may preach, but till thou favor,
Heathens will be still the same:
Mighty Spirit!

Witness to the Saviour's name.

2 Thou hast promis'd by the prophets,
Glorious light in latter days:
Come, and bless bewilder'd nations,
Change our pray'rs and tears to praise;
Promis'd Spirit!

Round the world diffuse thy rays.

3 All our hopes, and pray'rs, and labors,
Must be vain without thine aid:
But thou wilt not disappoint us-
All is true that thou hast said:
Faithful Spirit!

O'er the world thine influence shed.

The latter day glory.

1 WHEN will the happy trump proclaim The judgment of the martyr'd Lamb? When shall the captive troops be free, And keep th' eternal jubilee!

2 Hasten it, Lord, in ev'ry land,— Send thou thine angels, and command; Go, sound deliv'rance-loudly blow "Salvation to the saints below!"

3 We long to have the day appear,
The promis'd, great Sabbatic year;
When, far from grief, and sin, and hell,
Israel in ceaseless peace shall dwell.

4 Till then, we will not let thee rest-
Thou still shalt hear our strong request;
And this our daily pray'r shall be,
Lord, sound the trump of jubilee.

Arise, shine,- Isa. lx. 1.

1 HARK! 'tis the Prophet of the skies Proclaims Redemption near;

The night of death and bondage flies,
The dawning tints appear.

2 Zion, from deepest shades of gloom,
Awakes to glorious day;

Her desert wastes with verdure bloom,
Her shadows flee away.

3 The glad'ning news, convey'd afar,
Remotest nations hear;
To welcome Judah's rising Star,
The ransom'd tribes appear.

4 Fair Lebanon shall hear his voice,
And lands where Jordan flows,
With Sharon's desert shall rejoice,
And blossom as the rose.

1 BEHOLD! the mountain of the Lord. In latter days, shall rise

Above the mountains and the hills,
And draw the wond'ring eyes.

2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues, shail flow;
"Up to the hill of God," they say,
"And to his courts we'll go."

3 The beams that shine on Zion's hill Shall lighten ev'ry land;

The King who reigns in Zion's tow'rs,
Shall all the world command.

4 No longer hosts encount'ring hosts,
Their millions slain deplore;
They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.

5 Come then-Oh, come from ev'ry land,
To worship at his shrine:
And walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

1 BEHOLD the glorious dawning bright Of the millenial morn arise, The prelude of the promis'd light Now gladdens the expecting skies! 2 And shall not those awake, who claim Their hearts and hopes on high to place; Who bear the Saviour's sacred name, While he displays his boundless grace! 3 Lo, Jesus comes! his people know

The goings of their glorious King— He rends the heav'ns, the mountains flow, And his redeem'd his triumph sing. 4 How sweet his peaceful reign shall be, His sway shall all the nations own,
