Lo! thy sun is risen in glory, Zion's king vouchsafes to send. Enemies no more shall trouble, For thy shame thou shalt have double, All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest. 95 ZION'S RESTORATION. "Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city."-ISAIAH lii. 1. DAUG AUGHTER of Zion, from the dust Again in thy Redeemer trust; He calls thee from the dead. Awake, awake, put on thy strength, The day of freedom dawns at length, Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, Say to the South, "Give up thy charge, They come, they come, the exil'd bands! They hear thy voice in stranger lands, 96 ZION'S KING. "And the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever."-MICAH iv. 7. VION'S King shall reign victorious, All the earth shall own his sway; Then shall Israel, long dispersed, Then all Israel shall be saved, War and tumult then shall cease; While the greater Son of David Rules a conquer'd world in peace. Mighty King, Thine arm revealing, 97 JERUSALEM. "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it."-LUKE XIX. 41. JERUSALEM! Jerusalem! Enthroned once on high; Thou favoured home of God on earth, Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Our tears shall flow for thee. Where once the praises of thy God, Thy children tremble at the rod, And crouch beneath their foes; Our tears shall flow for thee. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Until thou turn again, And seek with penitence of heart, Our tears shall flow for thee. 98 JERUSALEM RESTORED. "Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem."-PSALM li. 18. HOU source of light and love Divine, THOU On Zion bid thy mercy shine; To exile now no more condemn The Children of Jerusalem. Redeemer of thy Zion, haste, Why lies thine ancient dwelling waste? Speak words of peace; and cheer with them The heart of thy Jerusalem. May Zion be with beauty crown'd, May rays of majesty surround: Mercy is still thy brightest gem, Shew mercy to Jerusalem. Thy Zion's liberty proclaim; Remember her reproach and shame; Repair, for why should men contemn? Again, with glory in his train, Let Zion's King on Zion reign : Cheer, Thou that art their diadem, May joy and gladness now distil, 99 THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love Now thee."-PSALM CXxii. 6. let us pray for Salem's peace, |
