of Christ in Power. 1 Lord Jesus, come! for here Our path through wilds is laid; We watch, as for the dayspring near, Amid the breaking shade. 2 Lord Jesus, come! for hosts Meet on the battle-plain; Our holiest hopes seem vainest boasts, And tears are shed like rain. 3 Lord Jesus, come! the slave Still bears his heavy chains; Their daily bread the hungry crave, While teem the fruitful plains. 4 Hark! herald voices near Lead on thy happier day; Come, Lord, and our hosannas hear! We wait to strew thy way. 5 Come, as in days of old, With words of grace and power; Gather us all within thy fold, And let us stray no more! 174. 6 & 4s. M. Marriott. Let There Be Light. 1 Thou, whose almighty word Chaos and darkness heard, And took their flight! Hear us, we humbly pray, And where the gospel day Sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light! 2 Thou, who didst come to bring, On Thy redeeming wing, Healing and sight! Health to the sick in mind, Light to the inly blind, O, now to all mankind Let there be light! 3 Descend Thou from above, Spirit of truth and love, Speed on Thy flight! Move o'er the waters' face, Spirit of hope and grace, And in earth's darkest place Let there be light! 4 Blessed and glorious three, Thrice holy trinity, Wisdom, love, might! Boundless as ocean's tide, Rolling in fullest pride, Through the world, far and wide, Let there be light! 175. C. M. *Moore. The Latter Day. 1 Who shall behold the glorious day, When, throned on Zion's brow, The Lord shall rend the veil away Which hides the nations now! When earth no more beneath the fear Of His rebuke shall lie; When pain shall cease, and every tear Be wiped from every eye. 2 Then shall the world no longer mourn Beneath oppression's chain; The days of splendor shall return, And all be new again. The fount of life shall then be quaffed In peace by all who come, And every wind that blows shall waft Some long-lost exile home. 176.
