2 Elect from every nation,

Yet one o'er all the earth,

Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,

Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder,
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed;

Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up. "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping

Shall be the morn of song.

4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation

Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.

5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy!

Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee.

1. God in His earthly temple lays Foun-da-tions for His heavenly praise;

He likes the tents of Jacob well, But still in Si on loves to dwell.

2 His mercy visits every house
That pay their night and morning vows;
But makes a more delightful stay
Where churches meet to praise and pray.
3 What glories were described of old!
What wonders are of Sion told!
Thou city of our God below,

4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew,
Shall there begin their lives anew;
Angels and men shall join to sing
The hill where living waters spring.
5 When God makes up His last account
Of natives in His holy mount,
"Twill be an honor to appear

Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. As one new-born and nourished there.

Where'er the foot of man hath trod, De-scend on our a

pos- tate race.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light; To preach the reconciling word;

Give power and unction from above, Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

Confusion, order in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

4 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify,

Till every kindred call Him Lord.

3 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright;
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in His sight;
God is with thee:

God, thine everlasting light.
