When the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Isaiah 52:8.
Restore, O Father! to our times restore
The peace which filled thine infant Church of yore,
Ere lust of power had sown the seeds of strife,
And quenched the new-born charities of life.
2 O, never more may different judgments part
From kindled sympathy a brother’s heart!
But, linked in one, believing thousands kneel,
And share with each the sacred joy they feel.
3 From soul to soul, quick as the sunbeam’s ray,
Let concord spread one universal day;
And faith by love lead all mankind to thee,
Parent of peace, and Fount of harmony!
