581 HYMNS.
5 Yet still our elevated eyes
To nobler visions long to rise ;
That grand assembly would we join,
Where all thy saints around thee shine.
6 That mount how bright! those forms how fair
’Tis good to dwell for ever there:
Come, death, dear envoy of my God,
And bear me to that blest abode.

“ Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be savei ii:
Psa. Ixxx. 19.
1 T ORD we esteem the favour great;
■*-i And give the praise to thee;
That we can thus together meet.
And none tamake us flee.
2 But all our meetings barren prove.
Except thou show thy face :
Come then dear Saviour from above.
And consecrate this place.
3 0 let the visits of thy love.
The purest joy impart T
Let all our deadness now remove.
And zeal fill ev’ry heart 1
4 Zeal to confess thy glorious name.
In spite of earth and hell!
Thy loving kindness to proclaim,
And all thy goodness tell!
5 Lord let thy people’s light so shine.
That all the world may see,
And own its origin divine.
And give the praise to thee.
