For the Mahometans 1 CUN of unclouded Righteousness, O With healing in thy wings arise, A sad benighted world to bless, Which now in sin and error lies, Wrapt in Egyptian night profound ; With chains of hellish darkness bound. 2 The smoke of the infernal cave, Which half the Christian world o'erspread, Disperse, thou heavenly Light, and save The souls by that Impostor led, That Arab-thief, as Satan bold, Who quite destroy'd thy Asian fold. 3 O might the blood of sprinkling cry For those who spurn the sprinkled blood ! Assert thv glorious Deitv, Stretch out thine arm, thou triune God !

And then fill up thy heavenly fold. HYMN 445. 6-8's. 1 r\ COME, thou radiant Morning Star, ^-J Again in human darkness shine ! Arise resplendent from afar ! Assert thy royalty divine ! Thy sway o'er all the earth maintain, And now begin thv glorious reign. 4Lo For Believers Interceding. s 2 Thy kingdom, Lord, we long to see : Thy sceptre o'er the nations shake !
