Glory of the Church.

1On thy church, O Power Divine,

Cause thy glorious face to shine;

Till the nations from afar

Hail her as their guiding star;

Till her sons, from zone to zone,

Make thy great salvation known.

2Then shall God, with lavish hand,

Scatter blessings o'er the land;

Earth shall yield her rich increase,

Every breeze shall whisper peace,

And the world's remotest bound

With the voice of praise resound.

Christian's Song of Triumph.

1Sound the full chorus! let praises ascend

To God the Creator, our Father and Friend.

Sing, for the light of his truth is before us,

And we will give thanks, and rejoice in his name;

His banner of love in its glory waves o'er us;

That love will continue forever the same.

Sound the full chorus, &c.

2Praise to Jehovah! Give praise--let it rise

From earth, in its fulness--and swell to the skies!

Give glory and praise! For a ransomed creation

The gospel of peace in its triumph shall see;

Our God hath redeemed us--and Christ our salvation

Appears, from transgression and death to make free!

Praise to Jehovah, &c.
