TAPPAN.

Arise, shine, Isa. lx. 1.

1H Proclaims Redemption near;

[ARK! 'tis the Prophet of the skies

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.

LOGAN.

EHOLD! 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, shall 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.

HYDE.

Luke i. 78.

EHOLD 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,

All tongues shall bless him-ev'ry knee Shall bow submissive to his throne.

Thy kingdom come. Matt. vi. 10.

1 ASCEND

SCEND thy throne, Almighty King,
And spread thy glories all abroad;

Let thy own arm salvation bring,

And be thou known, the gracious God.

2 Let millions bow before thy seat;

Let humble mourners seek thy face; Bring daring rebels to thy feet, Subdu'd by thy victorious grace.

3 Oh, let the kingdoms of the world Become the kingdoms of the Lord; Let saints and angels praise thy name; Be thou thro' heav'n and earth ador'd.

HYMN 484. L. M.

BRIGHT as the sun's meridian blaze,

Vast as the blessings he conveys,

Wide as his reign from pole to pole,
And permanent as his control:

2 So, Jesus, let thy kingdom come-
Then sin and hell's terrific gloom
Shall, at his brightness, flee away,,
The dawn of an eternal day.

HYMN 485. C. M.

Prince of Peace.

ET saints on earth their anthems raise, Who taste the Saviour's grace: Let heathens too proclaim his praise, And crown him "Prince of Peace." 2 Praise him, who laid his glory by, For man's apostate race;

Praise him, who stoop'd to bleed and die,
And crown him "Prince of Peace."

3 Ye nations, lay your weapons down,
Let war forever cease;
Immanuel for your Sov'reign own,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

4 We soon shall reach the heav'nly shore, To view his lovely face;

1

His name forever to adore,

And crown him "Prince of Peace."

HYMN 486. 8,7.

Isa. ii. 2.

KELLY.

ARK! a cry among the nations!
"Come, and let us seek the Lord:

"Vain our former expectations;
"Vain the idols we ador'd:

"Zion's King is God alone:

"Let us bow before his throne."

2 See! from ev'ry quarter flowing,
Joyful crowds assemble round:
Love, in ev'ry heart is glowing :
Praise is heard in ev'ry sound;
While Jehovah shews his face,
Glory fills the sacred place.

3 Weapons meant for mutual slaughter
Now are instruments of peace;
They who taste the living water,
Learn from war and strife to cease:
Jesus reigns-the earth is still-
All the nations do his will.

Rev. xiv. 2, 3.

1H Loud as mighty thunders roar,

ARK! the song of Jubilee,

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore :Hallelujah! for the Lord,

God omnipotent, shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the depth unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:-
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,

Sheath'd his sword: he speaks: 'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.
