our God;

He whose word can not be

broken, Form'd thee for His own

a - bode;

On the Rock of A ges found-ed, What can shake thy sure

re- pose?

With sal- va-tion's walls sur-round-ed, Thou may' st smile at all thy foes. A-MEN.

2 See, the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst t'assuage
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,

Never fails from age to age.

3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near;

Thus deriving from their banner,

Light by night, and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray,

4 Blest inhabitants of Zion,

Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis His love His people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, His solemn praises Each for a thank-offering brings. John Newton, 1779

With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. A-MEN.

2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,

Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;

441

Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

4 Yet she on earth hath union

With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy!

Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Samuel J. Stone, 1866
