LyicsSAY, who is she that looks abroad,
Like the sweet blushing dawn,
When with her living light she paints
The dew drops of the lawn?
Fair as the moon, when in the skies
Serene her throne she guides,
And o'er the twinkling stars supreme
In full-orb'd glory rides?
Clear as the sun, when from the east
Without a cloud he springs:
And scatters boundless light and heat
From his resplendent wings.
Tremendous as a host that moves
Majestically slow,
With banners wide displayed, all arm'd
All ardent for the foe?
This is the church by heaven array'd,
With strength and grace divine;
Thus shall she strike her foes with dread,
And thus her glories shine.
DOXOLOGY.
To God the Father, and the Son-
The God whom we adore,
Be glory as it was, and is,
And shall be evermore.
HOSANNA.
Hosanna to the Prince of peace;
Th' eternal age draws nigh,
When Christ shall rule this world beneath,
As God the heavens on high.
