3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay Thy realms shall last, thy own Messiah reigns. Amen. ALEXANDER POPE 227 ST. VERONICA 6s 61. FRANCIS H. CHAMPNEYS -88) O thou not made with hands, Not throned a Nor walled with shining walls, Nor framed with stones of price, With sal-vation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. A-men. 唱 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, Thus deriving from their banner, Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna, 4 Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, Whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis His love His people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, His solemn praises JOHN NEWTON With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. A-men. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; Partakes one holy food, 3 Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. (J=104) Jesus, with Thy Church a- bide, Be her Saviour, Lord,and Guide, 2 Keep her life and doctrine pure, Help her, patient to endure, Trusting in Thy promise sure: We beseech Thee, hear us. 3 Be Thou with her all the days, May she, safe from error's ways, Toil for Thine eternal praise: We beseech Thee, hear us. 4 All her fettered powers release, Bid our strife and envy cease, Grant the heavenly gift of peace: We beseech Thee, hear us. 5 May she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in Thee: We beseech Thee, hear us. 6 May she guide the poor and blind, Seek the lost until she find, And the broken-hearted bind: We beseech Thee, hear us. 7 Save her love from growing cold, 8 May her lamp of truth be bright, 9 Arm her soldiers with the cross, 10 May she holy triumphs win, We beseech Thee, hear us. 11 Fit her all Thy joy to share |
