And anger and hatred be o'er ;
And envy and malice shall die,
And discord afflict us no more.
5 No horrid alarum of war
Shall break our eternal repose ;
No sound of the trumpet is there,
Where Jesus's Spirit o'erflows :
Appeased by the charms of thy grace,
We all shall in amity join;
And kindly each other embrace,
And love with a passion like thine.
HYMN 221. 7\s- $ 6's.
1 A/FEET and right it is to sing,
-^-▼A In every time and place,
Glory to our heavenly King,
The God of Truth and Grace :
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join !
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Eternal praise be thine !
2 Thee, the first-born sons of light,
In choral symphonies,
Praise by day, day without night,
And never, never cease :
For Believers Rejoicing. 2 ID
Angels and archangels, all
Praise the mystic Three in One ;
Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall
O'erwhelm'd before thy throne!
3 Vying with that happy choir,
Who chant thy praise above,
We on eagles' wings aspire,
The wings of faith and love :
Thee they sing, with glory crown'd ;
TVe extol the slaughter'd Lamb ;
Lower if our voices sound,
Our subject is the same.
4 Father, God, thy love we praise,
Which gave thy Son to die ;
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Alike we glorify ;
Spirit, Comforter divine,
Praise by all to thee be given,
Till we in full chorus join,
And earth is turn'd to heaven.
HYMN 222. 8'.v£6Y
! ar
thee,
] T TOW happy, gracious Lord ! are we,
A A Divinely drawn to follow
Whose hours divided are,
Betwixt the mount and multitude :
Our day is spent in doing good,
Our night in praise and prayer
2 With us no melancholy void,
No period lingers unemploy'd,
Or unimproved, below :
Our weariness of life is gone,
Who live to serve our God alone,
And onlv thee to know
^lo For Believers Rejoicing.
3 The winter's night, and summer's day,
GJide imperceptibly away,
Too short to sing thy praise :
Too few we find the happy hours,
And haste to join those heavenly powers,
In everlasting lays.
4 With all who chant thy Name on high,
And, " Holy, Holy, Holy," cry,
