For the Times and Seasons.
HYMN-P. M.
BY A CONVERTED JEW.
Come, thou glorious day of promise, Their transgressions from them turn;
Come and spread thy cheerful ray, King of Israel
When the scattered sheep of Israel Come and set thy people free.
Shall no longer go astray
When hosannas Oh, that soon thou would'st to Jacob
With united voice they cry. Thine enliv'ning spirit send;
Of their unbelief and misery
Lord, how long wilt thou be angry? Make, O Lord! a speedy end
Shall thy wrath forever burn? Lord Messiah!
Rise, redeem thy ancient people, Prince of peace, o'er Israel reign.
I WOULD SEE JESUS.
When streams of pleasure gently flow, When in the sacred courts I tread,
And skies are clear, and comforts glow; And bow the knee, or lift the head;
In all prosperity, would I In all the ordinances, would I
To Jusus [Jesus] turn my grateful eye. On Jesus fix my faithful eye.
Or should the storms of sorrow lower, Or when the friendly throng I meet,
Afflictions pain, temptations pour; And heart meets heart, and friendships greet;
In all adversity, would I In social intercourse, would I
To Jesus turn my patient eye. On Jesus keep my loving eye.
When healthful flows the tide of life, When death shall spread his sombre [somber] shade,
And strength is firm, and vigor rife; And life shall cease, and earth shall fade;
In all activity, would I In the departing hour, would I
On Jesus fix my cheerful eye[.] On Jesus fix my hopeful eye.
Or should diseases rack my frame, And when the happy millions meet,
Or pains distract, or fevers flame; And wave their palms at Jesus' feet;
In all my sicknesses, would I Through all eternity would I
To Jesus lift my languid eye. On Jesus keep my joyful eye. G. H.
