#6The Restitution
Hymn Display
1
OH, spare thy people, Lord,
And bring them full salvation;
Fulfill thy faithful word,
Rescue the sleeping nation;
Thou voice of God shout from on high;
The signal give for reaping;
Come thou and reap the harvest dry;
Oh, gather all the sleeping;
Spare now the "remnant" Lord,
The foe doth yet pursue them.
Oh, for thy blessed word,
Do thou with strength renew them.
2
Oh, may thy kingdom come,
All power and dominion;
Bring now the faithful home,
On bright seraphic pinion;
We're tried, O, come and take us home,
And give us crowns of glory;
We feel like those who weary roam
About some ruin hoary:
Oh, may thy will be done,
On earth as 'tis in heaven;
May now the glorious Sun
Of righteousness be given.
3
Oh! may the "City" come
Down from the opening heaven–
The New Jerusalem,
Oh, may it now be given;
Its gates of pearl, its streets of gold,
Blaze with thy brightest glory:
The holy seers have raptur'd told
The New Creation's story;
Oh, may it now descend,
The City of foundations,
In triumph ne'er to end,
Rule Thou the "angry nations."
