JEWISH PASSOVER HYMN.

HE Mighty God shall build his temple speedily ; in haste, in haste, in our days speedily, speedily; Lord, build, Lord, build, build thy temple speedily. The Blessed God, The Glorious God, The Holy God, The Gracious God, shall build his temple speedily; in haste, in haste, in our days speedily, speedily! Lord, build, Lord, build, build thy temple speedily.

חָסִיד הוא : טָהוֹר הוּא : יָחִיד הוא : מֶלֶךְ הוּא : כַּבִּיר הוא : לָמוּד הוא : עיזון הוא : סַבִּיב הוא : הוא : נוֹרָא פּוֹדֶה הוא : צַדִיק הוא : קָדוֹשׁ הוּא : תַּקִיף הוא : רַחוּם הוא : שדי הוא : יִבְנֶה בֵּיתוֹ בְּקָרוֹב: בִּמְהֵרָה בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ בְּקָרוֹב בְּקָרוֹב : אֵל בְּנֵה : אֵל

בְּנֵה: בְּנֵה בֵּיתְךָ בְּקָרוֹב :

JERUSALEM.

JERUSALEM! Jerusalem !

Great city of our King,

The risen Lord of Bethlehem,
Salvation's source and spring !
Long have the harps of Zion lost
Their tones of heavenly fire;
Long on the waves of sorrow toss'd
Thy matchless songs expire.

Jerusalem ! Jerusalem !

Proud Rome thy walls assail'd,

Defil'd thy royal diadem,

And all thy glory veil'd.

Long hast thou been the heathen's scorn,

The scoff of cruel men;

The galling yoke thy neck has borne,
And felt the oppressive chain.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem!

Thy Saviour calls to thee,
To hail the rod of Jesse's stem,
And in His love be free.

Awake, O captive daughter, wake!
Thy beauteous robes put on;
Immanuel soon his bride will take,
And lead thee to his throne.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Thine hour of grace is come;
The Crucified of Bethlehem

Shall bear thy thousands home.
May God unveil thy blinded heart,
The light of truth pour in,
His saving grace to thee impart,
And break thy bonds of sin!

Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Thy sons shall yet come forth;

The Lord, with strength, shall gather them From farthest bounds of earth.

With shouts that pierce the gladden'd sky, Thy tribes shall homeward throng;

Thy tears the Lord himself will dry,

And teach thee Zion's song.

REDEMPTION.

WELL the full chorus with heart and with

Sw

voice,

In Jesus, Messiah, let Israel rejoice!

Sing with the Spirits, made perfect, in glory, Who gaze on the great, the Eternal I AM: For the theme of their strain is Redemption's sweet story;

The dying and rising and reign of the Lamb! Swell the full chorus with heart and with voice, In Jesus, Messiah, let Israel rejoice!

Praise to the Victor who conquered the grave, Who speaketh in righteousness, mighty to save; Blessing and honour, dominion and power,

To Him that hath suffer'd for sin to atone; For He bowed his meek head, on the Cross, in Death's hour,

Then burst its dark bands, and went up to

his throne!

Swell the full chorus with heart and with voice, In Jesus, Messiah, let Israel rejoice!

JUDAH'S DELIVERANCE.

WA

AKE, Judah, wake! be free!
Thy glorious Conq'ror see;
