1. THE perfect world, by Adam trod,
Was the first temple built by God;
Ilis fiat laid the corner-stone,
And heaved its pillars one by one.

2. He hung its starry roof on high-
The broad, illimitable sky;

He spread its pavement, green and bright,
And curtained it with morning light.

3. The mountains in their places stood,

The sea-the sky-and "all was good;"
And when its first pure praises rang,
The morning stars together sang."

4. Lord, 't is not ours to make the sea,
And earth, and sky, a house for Thee;
But in Thy sight our off'ring stands-
An humbler temple, "made with hands."

5. We can not bid the morning star

To sing how bright Thy glories are;
But, Lord, if Thou wilt meet us here,
Thy praise shall be the Christian's tear.

1. TRIUMPHANT Zion! lift thy head
From dust, and darkness, and the dead!
Though humbled long-awake at length,
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength!

2. Put all thy beauteous garments on,

And let thy excellence be known;
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.
3. No more shall foes unclean invade,

And fill thy hallowed walls with dread;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

4. God, from on high, has heard thy prayer;
His hand thy ruins shall repair;
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.

1. O SPIRIT of the living God,

In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race.

2. Give tongues of fire, and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction front above,
Where'er the joyful sound is heard.
3. Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
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.
5. O Spirit of the Lord! prepare

All the round earth her God to meet Breathe Thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. MONTGOMERY.

1. ARM of the Lord! awake, awake!
Put on Thy strength! the nations shake!
And let the world, adoring, sce
Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee.

2. Say to the heathen, from Thy throne"I am Jehovah-God alone!"

Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.

3. Almighty God! Thy grace proclaim
In every iand, of every name;
Let Zion's time of favor come;
Oh! bring the tribes of Israel home.
4. Arm of the Lord! awake, awake!
Put on Thy strength! the nations shake!
Let hostile powers before Thee fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all.

2. Hail, Jesus! all victorious Lord!
Be Thou by all mankind adored!
For us didst Thou the fight maintain,
And o'er our foes the victory gain,
That we, with Thee, might ever reign
In endless day.

*By repeating half the last line.

3. Fight on, ye conquering souls, fight on,
And when the conquest you have won,
Then palms of victory you shall bear,
And in His kingdom have a share,
And crowns of glory ever wear,
In endless day.

4. There we shall in full chorus join,
With saints and angels, all combine
To sing of His redeeming love,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
And this shall be our theme above,
In endless day.

1. HARK, hark! the gospel trumpet sounds!
Thro' earth and heaven the echo bounds!
Pardon and peace by Jesus' blood,
Sinners are reconciled to God
By grace divine.

Mercy and justice here combine,
Goodness and truth harmonious join,

3. Ye saints in glory, strike the lyre;
Ye mortals, catch the sacred fire;
Let both the Saviour's love proclaim—
For ever worthy is the Lamb
Of endless praise.

1. FROM day to day, before our eyes,

Grows and extends the work begun; When shall the new creation rise

O'er every land beneath the sun?

2. When, in the sabbath of His love,

Shall God from all His labors rest;
And bending from His throne above,
Again pronounce His creatures blest?
3. As sang the morning stars of old,

Shouted the sons of God for joy;
His widening reign while we behold,
Let praise and prayer our tongues em-
ploy.

4. Till the redeemed in every clime,

Yea, all that breathe, and move, and live,
To Christ, through every age of time,
The kingdom, power, and glory give.
