Asunder sawn with anxious thought With soul-tormenting care, In prayer to thee the torn I brought, In vain distracted prayer: But that my vows at last may be Accepted at thy throne, I now present them all to thee Thro' thine atoning Son. "From the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles: and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering." Mal. i. 11. The name be known from east to west, The truth, and power, and love confest Of Christ, our great exalted Lord! Jesus, we long thy day to see, To hail thy sovereign majesty By all the heathen world ador'd. The only God supreme thou art; To thee may every praying heart Present itself an offering pure, And let our whole converted race, Who taste thy love, and sing thy praise, To all eternity endure. "The Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple." Mal. iii. 1. Jehovah to his temple came, When in our flesh the holy child Appear'd, and Jesus was his name, And God and man were reconcil'd. Jesus shall to his house again, To every seeking sinner come; And when his Spirit we obtain, Our hearts are his eternal home.
