The Faith of the Saints.-

By D. Roberts.

Far from the birth-place of the Lord, Prophets foretold the eventful dawn Glory to God! Messiah's reign

The Saviour [Savior] of man kind: Of a Messiah's reign- Has just begun to dawn;

In western wilds the saints accord And when the appointed time had come, Soon will Appolyon sleep in chains,

And songs of Zion join: Angels from heaven came; And hell receive her doom.

To sing the praises of our God, Proclaimed to man, God's chosen one, Ye earth be glad! ye saints rejoice!

To thee, the Great I AM, The mysteries of the theme- Hosanna! on our tongues

And chant the theme on western plains dawn, That's long been sung, by angel tongues, Shall swell the theme of Zions plains,

Of Moses and the Lamb. Of Moses and the Lamb. Of Moses and the Lamb.

In these last days a voice is heard, Then let Isaiah's hallowed fire, Then let our persecuting foes,

As speaking from the ground; Our faithless bosoms burn: This precious faith revile:

Proclaiming to the world in deed, A prophets born in seer's attire Securely still, will we repose

That free salvation's found- Endowed with Gifts divine. In our redeemer's smiles,

As first proclaimed by Israel's King, A book is found, the learned are dumb, Till all the ransomed happy throng,

And prophets, who are joined The urim still is sealed; To praise the Great I AM

In holy anthems, round the throne The seal is broke, the thummim spoke, Shall join their voices in the song

Of Moses and the Lamb. What beauties are revealed! Of Moses and the Lamb.
