M. TESCHNER.

Shall war be learned no longer,
Shall strife and tumult cease,
All earth His blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace?

4 O long-expected dawning,

Come with thy cheering ray; When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away?

O sweet anticipation,

It cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone.

2 Christians, hearken; none has taught them
Of His love so deep and dear;
Of the precious price that bought them;
Of the nail, the thorn, the spear;
Ye who know Him,

Guide them from their darkness drear.

3 Haste, O haste, and spread the tidings
Wide to earth's remotest strand;
Let no brother's bitter chidings
Rise against us, when we stand
In the judgment,

From some far, forgotten land.

4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten,
All along each distant shore;
Seaward far the islands brighten;
Light of Nations, lead us o'er!
When we seek them,

Let Thy Spirit go before.

2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world;
Our faith shall never yield to fear.

3 There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God,
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.

4 That sacred stream, Thine holy Word,
Our grief allays, our fear controls;
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.

5 Zion enjoys her monarch's love,

Secure against a threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundations move, Built on Ilis truth, and armed with power. 471

ISAAC WATTS.

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 prayer be made,
And princes throng to crown His head;
His Name, like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His Name.

4 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 blest.

5 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen. 472

RAY PALMER.

1 ETERNAL Father, Thou hast said,
That Christ all glory shall obtain;
That He who once a Sufferer bled
Shall o'er the world a Conqueror reign.
2 We wait Thy triumph, Saviour King!
Long ages have prepared Thy way;
Now all abroad Thy banner fling,
Set time's great battle in array.

3 Thy hosts are mustered to the field;
"The Cross! the Cross!" the battle-call;
The old grim towers of darkness yield,
And soon shall totter to their fall.

4 On mountain tops the watch-fires glow, Where scattered wide the watchmen

stand;

Voice echoes voice, and onward flow
The joyous shouts from land to land.

5 O fill Thy Church with faith and power;
Bid her long night of weeping cease;
To groaning nations haste the hour
Of life and freedom, light and peace.
