3:

2 The Lamb who bore our sorrows
Comes down to earth again;
No sufferer now, but Victor,
For evermore to reign;
To reign in every nation,
To rule in every zone:
O wide-world coronation,
In every heart a throne.

3 Awake, awake, O Zion,

The bridal day draws nigh,
The day of signs and wonders,
And marvels from on high:
Thy sun uprises slowly,

But keep thou watch and ward;
Fair Bride, all pure and lowly,

Go forth to meet thy Lord.
Benjamin Gough (1805-

), 1865. Ab.

I HE comes in blood-stained garments;
Upon His brow a crown;
The gates of brass fly open,
The iron bands drop down;
From off the fettered captive
The chains of Satan fall,
While angels shout triumphant,
That Christ is Lord of all.

2 O Christ, His love is mighty,
Long-suffering is His grace;
And glorious is the splendor

That beameth from His face.
Our hearts up-leap in gladness
When we behold that love,
As we go singing onward
To dwell with Him above.
Mrs. Charitie Lees Bancroft (1841-

), 1860. Ab.

2 When they who to the sea go down, And in the waters ply their toil, Are lifted on the surge's crown, And plunged where seething eddies boil; 3 Rule then, O Lord, the ocean's wrath,

And bind the tempest with Thy will; Tread, as of old, the water's path, [still." And speak Thy bidding, "Peace, be 4 And when there shall be sea no more, Save that of mingled flame and glass, Where goes no galley sped by oar, Where gallant ships no longer pass; 5 When dawns the Resurrection morn, Upon that shore, O Jesus, stand, And give Thy pilgrims, faint and worn, Their welcome to the Happy Land. Rev. Richard Frederick Littledale (1833- ), 1867. Ab. DOMINE SALVA. 12.

If on the morning's wings they fly, They will not pass beyond Thine eye: The wanderer's prayer Thou bend'st to And faith exults to know Thee near. [hear, 3 When tempests rock the groaning bark, O hide them safe in Jesus' ark; When in the tempting port they ride, O keep them safe at Jesus' side. 4 If life's wide ocean smile or roar, Still guide them to the heavenly shore; And grant their dust in Christ may sleep, Abroad, at home, or in the deep.

Bp. George Burgess (1809-1866), 1840.
