he triumphs of the cross record;
Thy name, O Father, glorify,
Till every people call Thee Lord.

588. C. M. A. C. Coxe.

The Church Everlasting.

1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But Holy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
Mark ye her holy battlements,
And her foundations strong;
And hear within, her solemn voice,
And her unending song.

2 For not like kingdoms of the world
The Holy Church of God!
Though earthquake shocks are rocking her,
And tempests are abroad;
Unshaken as eternal hills,
Unmovable she stands,--
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A fane unbuilt by hands.

589. C. M. Sp. of Psalms.

The Day-Spring From on High.

1 Thy servants in the temple watched
The dawning of the day,
Impatient with its earliest beams
Their holy vows to pay;
And chosen saints far off beheld
That great and glorious morn,
When the glad day-spring from on high
Auspiciously should dawn.

2 On us the Sun of Righteousness
Its brightest beams hath poured;
With grateful hearts and holy zeal,
Lord, be Thy love adored;
And let us look with joyful hope
To that more glorious day,
Before whose brightness sin and death,
And grief, shall flee away.

590. S. M. Doddridge.

The Pilgrim's Hymn.

1 Now let our voices join,
To form one pleasant song:
Ye pilgrims in God's holy way,
With music pass along!

2 How straight the path appears,
How open and how fair!
No lurking snares to entrap our feet,
No fierce destroyer there!

3 But flowers of paradise
In rich profusion spring;
The sun of hope shines on our path,
And dear companions sing.

4 All glory to His name,
Who drew the shining trace;
To Him who leads the wanderers on,
And cheers them with His grace.

5 Subdue the nations, Lord!
Teach all their kings Thy ways;
That earth's full choir the notes may swell,
And heaven resound the praise.

591. 7 & 5s. M. Anonymous.
