The Glory of the Church in the Latter Day. Is. 60:1.

1O Zion, tune thy voice,

And raise thy hands on high;

Tell all the earth thy joys,

And boast salvation nigh.

Cheerful in God,

Arise and shine,

While rays divine

Stream all abroad.

2He gilds thy mourning face

With beams that cannot fade;

His all-resplendent grace

He pours around thy head.

The nations round

Thy form shall view,

With lustre new

Divinely crowned.

3In honor to his name,

Reflect that sacred light,

And loud that grace proclaim,

Which makes thy darkness bright;

Pursue his praise,

Till sovereign love

In worlds above

The glory raise.

Desiring Christ's Triumph.

1O thou Sun of glorious splendor,

Shine with healing in thy wing;

Chase away these shades of darkness;

Holy light and comfort bring.

2Let the heralds of salvation

Round the world with joy proclaim,

"Death and hell are spoiled and vanquished

Through the great Immanuel's name."

3Take thy power, almighty Saviour;

Claim the nations for thine own;

Reign, thou Lord of life and glory,

Till each heart becomes thy throne.

4Then the earth, o'erspread with glory,

Decked with heavenly splendor bright

Shall be made Jehovah's dwelling--

As at first, the Lord's delight.
