1 AND is the time approaching, To moles and bats be thrown, One common Lord adore? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love? Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth His blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on, Jane Borthwick 1868 306.
