Page 115 These brought thro' the purging flame Moulded in the form divine, Perfected in one, shall claim "My God, forever mine." "The Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee." Zech. xiv. 5. Come, my God, Jehovah, come, With all thy saints appear: Antichrist expects his doom, And we thy kingdom here: Us, who for thy kingdom pray, Us, who for thy coming groan, O remember in that day, And seat us on thy throne. "The Lord shall be king over all the earth." Zech. xiv. 9. Thee, Jesus, Lord of lords we know; The kingdoms of the earth are thine; Hasten t' erect thy throne below, That last great monarchy divine; With earnest faith thy people wait To see thee of thy right possest, The sole, immortal potentate, God over all forever blest! "In that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one." Zech. xiv. 9. Thy glorious power, O Christ, employ, T' unite the world beneath thy sway; Our idols utterly destroy, Those other lords forever slay; Thy Spirit of harmony and peace To every child of man be given, And all shall then thy name confess The name that fills both earth and heaven. Page 116 "Every pot in Jerusalem shall be holiness unto the Lord." Zech. xiv. 21. Meanest vessel of thy grace, Jesus, unto me impart True substantial holiness; Come, and make me pure in heart, Witness of thy hallowing word, Full of purity divine, All devoted to the Lord, Body, soul, and spirit thine. "In that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord." Zech. xiv. 21. Hasten, Lord, the promis'd day Of thy redeeming power; Thy victorious arm display, And sin shall be no more: Stands thy word forever sure, Thy church must all be saints indeed, Every member shall be pure, Compleatly like the head. Hymn 1457. "Ye offer the blind for sacrifice: and that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick." Mal. i. 8, 13. Oft have I offer'd up the blind In sacrifice to thee, My foolish ignorance of mind, My zealous bigotry: When languid to thy house I came To act a formal part, I sacrific'd the sick and lame, My lips without my heart.
