SONGS OF ZION 
 
 HYMN 1. 
 
 Seven in one or one in seven. 
 
 Zach. 6; 5, Rev. G; 2,15— 1; 6. 
 
 1 Open your gates ye sons of men, 
 Your waiting minds prepare, 
 
 Of seven fold wonders lo we sing, 
 And all their truth declare. 
 
 2 What in perfection glory shine?, 
 Is in itself complete; 
 
 Behold in Revelation then, 
 So many sevens meet. 
 
 3 By seven Churches and their stars, 
 In vision long foreseen; 
 
 Are all beneath one worshipped name, 
 And Christian surely mean. 
 
 4 The seven horns, the seven eyes, 
 The seven lamps of fire ; 
 
 A seven sealed book they all unseal, 
 But still one perfect power. 
 
o Then let the seven angels sound, 
 The seven vials pour; 
 In endless Revelation down. 
 And set the world on fire 
 
 6 
 
 Go forth ye horses through the earth, 
 Ye spirits of the heavens; 
 Sound on ye deathless angels, sound, 
 And perfect earth in sevens. 
 
 HYMN 2. 
 Paradise Tree. 
 Job 14; 7, Psa. 1 ; S.Ezek. 4; 7,12, Rev 
 
 OO. Q 
 
 1 In the land of the east, 
 There once stood a tree; 
 It flourished a while, 
 Called the Paradise tree; 
 For the nations unborn, 
 It was planted we see; 
 A Saviour in the garden, 
 Was this Paradise tree. 
 
 2 Fair stood in God's imao-e. 
 Like you and like me; 
 
While a Trinity grew, 
 In this Paradise tree; 
 Soul, body, and spirit, 
 In yourself you may see; 
 Why grow not then pure. 
 As this Paradise tree. 
 
 3 Dp you ask if then pure, 
 What's become of that tree; 
 It now grows in the west, 
 The same Paradise tree; 
 
 It now grows all afresh, 
 From the stump of that tree; 
 That was left in the earth, 
 It's the Paradise tree. 
 
 4 The second child lives, 
 Where the first now should be, 
 Yet the first now he lives, 
 
 In this Paradise tree; 
 A new fair creation, 
 Has begun you shall see, 
 The nations shall be healed, 
 By this Paradise tree. 
 
 5 Pray tell me the days, 
 Or the years of this tree; 
 
When the sun shall not shine, 
 Dies this Paradise tree; 
 Then it lives and it grows, 
 Through bright eternity; 
 For thus will shine the sun, 
 And this Paradise tree. 
 
 A flaming sword guards, 
 And flames round the tree; 
 It's the word of the Lord, 
 Both to you and to me; 
 For Jordon's now spoiled, 
 From sin we are free; 
 Hallelujah we'll sing, 
 And we'll shout victory. 
 
 HYMN 3. 
 Divine order of the seals, trumpets & vials. 
 
 Rev. 6; 1,-8;2,6»15; 1-16; 17~10;2,7 
 1 The Lamb has loosed the seven seals. 
 In songs the trumpets sound, 
 Fo lo! the seven angels pour 
 The seven vials down. 
 
2 The first and darkest seal is broke. 
 We now proclaim abroad; 
 
 That visioned book of seven seals. 
 Is God's own holy word. 
 
 3 Long has mankind that book beheld, 
 Its wonders to unroll; 
 
 But none's been able, or prevailed, 
 It's mysteries to unfold. 
 
 4 Not one of all the trumpets sound, 
 Nor vials e'er was poured; 
 
 Until the seals themselves are loosed, 
 Through all the holy word. 
 
 5 Knowledge in heavenly wisdoms ways 
 The seals and trumpets seen; 
 By Revelations to the world, 
 The foretold vials mean. 
 
 6 People and nations, tongues and kings, 
 The earth that's called to hear; 
 
 The broad deep waters of the word, 
 vShall now the sea appear. 
 
 7 The seventh angel, lo he stands, 
 Upon this earth and sea ; 
 
8 
 
 By all therein proclaims aloud, 
 That time no more shall be. 
 
 2 The covenant bow his head adorns, 
 Let all the earth give ear; 
 Lo in the Scripture cloud is set, 
 And brings the Jubilee year. 
 
 9 What systems, forms, or spurious faith, 
 As rivers turn to blood; 
 Beneath the vials of his wrath, 
 The vials of their Lord. 
 
 10 The Son of man is now revealed, 
 Who on the world shall rise; 
 Thus are the vials poured abroad, 
 Of wonder and surprise.* 
 
 1 1 To dust all sons of men return, 
 Like Moses in his day; 
 
 Christ's body the true Church is found, 
 He never went away. 
 
 12 By clouds of scripture did arise, 
 Through faith ascended high; 
 
 In Gospel Heavens behold he's reigned, 
 To this the perfect day. 
 
13 So shall the pit be opened wide, 
 From Heaven the Dragon fall ; 
 
 That veil of flesh let all pass through, 
 And God be all in all . 
 
 14 Thus vial sixth Euphrates dries, 
 The seventh's in the air; 
 
 Tis done, the seventh angel cries, 
 And lo an earthquake's here. 
 *Rev. 17: 8—13; 11. 
 
 HYMN 4. 
 What I've seen. 
 
 Explanation.— All things of a divine na- 
 ture are only seen by the eyes ol the 
 understanding. No spiritual or invisible 
 things ever were or ever will be seen in 
 anv other way. What the man-child ot 
 Rev. 12; 5, has comprehended and ex 
 perimentally seen in the above sense, 
 there being no other invisible world but 
 the moral world itself. 
 1 I have seen the highest heaven, 
 I've seen the deepest hell, 
 I know the world of spirits too. 
 Where God and angels dwell; 
 
10 
 
 I've seen the whole creation, 
 All travelling in pain, 
 I've seen its stars of heaven, 
 And know them all by name. 
 
 I I've seen the ancient Teman, 
 Mount Paron I have seen, 
 I've seen those scripture mountains, 
 And well know what they mean, 
 I've seen the sun in darkness, 
 The moon I've seen in blood, 
 I've seen the new Jerusalem, 
 Whose light thereof is God. 
 
 3 I've seen that sea of glass, 
 The mount Zion I have seen, 
 I've seen the throne of heaven, 
 And well know what they mean; 
 I've seen the great Behemoth, 
 Leviathan I've seen, 
 
 I've seen those beastly Kingdoms, 
 And know just what they mean. 
 
 4 I've seen the very waters, 
 On which the earth was hung, 
 I've seen its secret springs indeed, 
 Which never vet were sunn: 
 
11 
 
 I've seen the hosts of Michael, 
 And the dragon too I've seen, 
 I've seen them war in heaven, 
 And well know what both mean. 
 
 I've seen the fiery billows, 
 The day of dooms I've seen, 
 I've seen the book of life indeed, 
 And know what it doth mean; 
 I've seen that outer darkness. 
 That awful lake of fire, 
 The devil and his angels, 
 I've seen ihem burning there. 
 
 I've seen the new creation, 
 The judgment day I've seen, 
 And even the stone kingdom, 
 And well know what all mean; 
 I've seen the end of time, 
 And eternity I've, seen, 
 For lo, I've seen the moral world, 
 And what the scriptures mean.

 HYMN, 5. 
 Covering Cherub. 
 Ezk. 28; 14, 16. 
 
 1 Ye stars, ye Ministers give ear, 
 Our message from the God of light, 
 Myjteries of old shall now appear, 
 Which turn your gospel day to night. 
 
 2 Know all ye ministerial kings, 
 
 This is the righteous judgment hour; 
 From zion's hill proceed our songs, 
 Revealed hy inspiration power. 
 
 3 Know then ye reigning stars on high, 
 Your dispensation now is done, 
 
 For lo! the scripture clouds arise, 
 And cover now your moral sun. 
 
 4 I'ts God's own house ye have denied, 
 With your own doctrine merchandise; 
 The day has come your fruitful field, 
 Both saints and prophets shall dispise. 
 
 5 The nation's veil the truth shall rend, 
 And bring your covering cherub down; 
 
 From God's own mount where he hasreignd 
 Through gospel mystery all profound. 
 
13 
 
 6 But lo! that mystery now is done, 
 The covering cherub we'll reveal; 
 
 For he's been worship'd preach'd and sung 
 By all throughout the christian world. 
 
 7 That he might be a covering made, 
 All names divine to him's been given; 
 With precious stones thus covered, 
 High seated in the mount of God. 
 
 «S In Eden, yea the moral heaven, 
 He walked amid the stones of fire; 
 Perfect in beauty he's been made, 
 And preached men's covering every where! 
 
 9 This covering cherubim the mount, 
 Is but the gentile image high; 
 While thus revealed, he is cast out, 
 And lo the pride of all shall die. 
 
 10 In God that mountain in the mind, 
 Dwelt sure the covering cherubim; 
 For Christ, who is that covering, 
 In saints doth intercede, we find. 
 
14 
 
 Part 2dof 1^0. S. 
 
 1 1 In man's own mind the moral world, 
 God's kingdom only can be found; 
 For God and Christ and kingdom too, 
 All dwell within the bible sound. 
 
 12 The holy witnesses ascend, 
 
 High up to heaven, the heaven of God ; 
 Then heaven is in the human mind, 
 For sure they are God's holy word. 
 
 13 In God's own kingdom now in men, 
 Does sin and guilt and shame abound! 
 
 They blaspheme God, who say the same, 
 Why then have men a covering found? 
 
 14 All who put on Christ as a mind, 
 Have all the covering God has made; 
 Nor Hesh nor blood was e'er designed 
 But wisdom and the power of God. 
 
 15 Say not within your heart, it's said, 
 Who shall ascend indeed on high; 
 Nor shall you say who shall descend, 
 Forlo! God and his word are nigh. 
 
 16 The sum of all come hear it then, 
 
 Is God in Christ and Christ in men; 
 
15 
 
 In this true light all things are seen, 
 Which God's own word to men doth mean, 
 
 HYMN 6. 
 
 Vial on the sea. 
 
 Rev. 16; 3. 
 
 1 How deep and broad the sea, 
 Of God's own word appears; 
 While dispensations are its days, 
 Eternal are its years. 
 
 2 The moral earth and heaven, 
 Upon this sea were hung; 
 
 But lo! they all shall pass away, 
 And the stone kingdom come. 
 
 3 The scriptures are the sea, 
 Enclosed with bars and doors; 
 Those are its seals, dark sentences, 
 Which hath the book long closed. 
 
 4 The scriptures are the sea, 
 
 Whence antichrist arose; 
 
 His heads and horns, and mysteries too, 
 
 The witnesses proud foes. 
 
16 
 
 5 The scriptures are the sea, 
 On which the angel swears; 
 That time as joined with mystery, 
 Are ended to those powers. 
 
 6 Now since we know the sea, 
 We may divine the hand: 
 
 The hand of David set therein, 
 Means Christ the son of man. 
 
 7 The dragon in the sea, 
 Shall surely now be slain; 
 
 By Michael's two edged sword indeed. 
 While truth divine, his chain. 
 
 8 The waters of the sea, 
 
 Which on the earth should pour; 
 Are the deep doctrines of the word, 
 Whose waves thereof should roar. 
 
 9 This sea gives up its dead, 
 Its mysteries dark disclose; 
 In parts divided, lo! it stands, 
 As blood to all its foes. 
 
 10 This vial on the seas, 
 
 Is judgment on the word; 
 
17 
 
 While mysteries, doctrines in the land. 
 As rivers turn to blood. 
 
 1 1 But to the sea of glass. 
 Appears within our view; 
 This doctrine shall forever stand, 
 To all it shall prove true. 
 
 HYMN 7. 
 The Vial on the Rivers. 
 Rev. 16; 4,5. 
 1 Let all the learned, great and wise, 
 Who do the law as scripture prize; 
 Present their systems, creeds and forms, 
 The Gentile world have heard and learned, 
 
 2 Let none called christians now decline, 
 But did our vast survey of mind; 
 Bring all the knowledge in your world, 
 Written, or preached, or sung, or told, 
 
 3 Let every power now, great or small, 
 The Greek, the protestant and all; 
 Survey their doctrines to the heart, 
 And point them out in every part, 
 
18 
 
 4 Let every subdivision band, 
 
 Who have compassed our gospel land; 
 As sects respectively make known, 
 All they believe, have heard or shown. 
 
 5 Let no restriction now be made, 
 
 Of doctrines taught from heart or head, 
 What ere's been gathered from the word 
 Present the whole amount to God. 
 
 6 How vast the numbers of those forms, 
 And customs of all creature worms; 
 But who can all their doctrines scan. 
 So numerous, complex, winding run? 
 
 7 From Heavens own record and profound, 
 
 The names of all shall wisdom sound; 
 Those are rivers, fountains, pools, 
 Which turn to blood, Oh ! world of souls. 
 
 7 The names of all we now have given, 
 Throughout the earth and under heaven ; 
 While heaven's own vials on them pour, 
 Those doctrines, men shall drink no more.

 HYMN 8. 
 
 Correspo nueucy. 
 
 Is a. 65; 17. Rev. 21; 1. 
 
 1 The sun in brightness pours his rays, 
 The silver moon her light displays; 
 While stars in all their circling spheres, 
 Shine in their own eternal years. 
 
 *2 While earth on her own axis turns, 
 And all those planets round her burn; 
 
 Brings seasons, years and centuries brings, 
 All in eternal glory sings. 
 
 .3 While generations do behold, 
 
 The heavens, and earth and planets roll; 
 Wisdom transforms the world of mind, 
 And calls them heaven and earth divine, 
 
 4 High in her firmament of power, 
 
 She made her lights and placed them there ; 
 God is her sun, the church her moon, 
 Her stars as teachers long have shone, 
 
 5 Her clouds of heaven the earth has seen, 
 
 All scripture doctrines surely mean; 
 For judgment and for mercy given, 
 Wisdom by these rules earth and heaven.

 HYMN 9. 
 
 Heaven and Hell. 
 
 Isa. 28; 17,18. 
 Pray tell me, Oh my genius. 
 Of heaven and of hell; 
 Or be they fabled regions, 
 Where Paginations dwell; 
 The Bible and the Koran, 
 Have taught the same to all; 
 While Pagan faith proclaims them, 
 To mortals on this ball. 
 
 By priests both jew and christian, 
 Has heaven and hell been sung; 
 And through those dispensations, 
 Preached in a world to come; 
 And while through faith of heaven, 
 In hope were millions there; 
 Through faith has hell in vision, 
 Sunk myriads in dispair. 
 
 Beneath the veil of darkness, 
 Those laboring worlds of mind; 
 Hath travelled o'er the universe, 
 Their good or ill to find; 
 While faith in substance power, 
 
21 
 
 Has made both heaven and hell; 
 In man unto this hour, 
 As good and evil dwell. 
 
 t Break off those chains of darkness, 
 
 All things divine are here; 
 Those mysteries borne as former yokes, 
 
 Shall henceforth disappear; 
 
 Old moral death and hell shall yield, 
 
 And feel the lake of fire; 
 
 On zion's hill are all the sealed, 
 
 And lo they both are here. 
 
 > That glorious kingdom promised, 
 
 Called earth and heaven new; 
 
 Unto the people of the saints, 
 
 For you 'tis brought to view; 
 
 The moral world invisible, 
 
 All heights and depths contain; 
 
 Eternal life and death are here, 
 
 And here they shall remain.

 HYMN. 10 
 Divine: Wisdom, 
 
 Prov. 8; 23, 31. 
 
 1 Wisdom descends our song to raise, 
 And brings true heaven in her lays; 
 No guilt, no pride, no sorrow brings, 
 But peace and glory now she sings, 
 For this is Eden sure to find, 
 
 The heaven of rest within the mind, 
 
 2 Wisdom delighted once to dwell, 
 In ancient seers their souls to fill; 
 In me stte reigns as she did then, 
 Her delights are with the sons of men ; 
 For lo! the day has now come in, 
 
 Sin, death, and hell have lost their sting, 
 
 S Wisdom the moral world doth view, 
 She gave the law and gospel too; 
 When she but her blest powers unfolds, 
 All times and seasons she controls; 
 Behold her beams, where e'er they shine, 
 Destroys all darkness from the mind, 
 
 4 Wisdom is like the flames of fires 
 Consumes all chaff, all truth inspires; 
 Who e'er her brightest powers attend, 
 
*3 
 
 All scripture truth, can comprehend; 
 Earth's glory, this for men to prize, 
 And know her costly merchandize. 
 5 Wisdom crcateth all things new, 
 All things divine she brings to view; 
 The heigths of heaven, the depths of hell, 
 Within her understanding dwell; 
 For those she past in dread career, 
 To crown her day, the jubilee year. 
 
 6 Wisdom of old as now designed, 
 
 Shall reign o'er all the world of mind} 
 Mystery and time alike are vain, 
 While wisdom thus descends to reign^ 
 For lo! to all she'll thus appear; 
 And loud proclaim sabatic year. 
 
 7 Wisdom hath one eternal day, 
 By inspiration hath her way; 
 Her six days of creation were, 
 Time, dispensation she'll declare; 
 And lo! the seventh day's begun, 
 
 For God's own rest, and heaven are one. 
 
 8 Wisdom dwells in eternal years, 
 Makes free the world from slavish fears 
 "Break? the dark chains', of ages laid, 
 
 B3 
 
24 
 
 And bids her ransomed sons be glad; 
 For wisdom's light, and God's the same, 
 All generations shall proclaim. 
 
 HYMN 1 1 
 
 The Stars and Candlesticks. 
 
 Rev. 1; 12, 16. 
 
 1 From Patmos isle we now proclaim, 
 The vision that was sealed; 
 
 To all the stars and candlesticks, 
 The promises revealed. 
 
 2 Come listening Greek, come hear the news, 
 
 And Alysynian too; 
 
 The church that's called Vestarian, 
 
 These songs they are for you. 
 
 3 While the ancient church of Armenia hears, 
 
 And Assyrians learn our song; 
 The Catholic and Protestant, 
 Shall join the numerous throng. 
 
 4 Be not surprised ye listening hosts, 
 While trumpet voice proclaims; 
 Those candlesticksjbreseen, 
 
 Are those with all their names. 
 
S> Those seven women, mountains ^streams 
 
 Foreseen in ancient days; 
 Take hold on one whose name they bear, 
 
 But walk in their own ways. 
 
 6 Long have those candlesticks retained, 
 
 Their shining stars around; 
 While all those churches, and those stars,. 
 Are all on earth now found. 
 
 7 Would ministers and churches claim, 
 
 The promises there made; 
 
 And yet deny they are the stars, 
 
 Or candlesticks indeed? 
 
 8 Are not the stars in his right hand. 
 Of whom the vision told; 
 
 The son of man like one appears, 
 Mid candlesticks of gold. 
 
 9 Now to those numbers who compose, 
 
 Those candlesticks foretold; 
 And all their stars and people too, 
 O'er whom they have control. 
 
 10 What e'er in vision once was seen, 
 
 To you is now applied ; 
 B4 
 
26 
 
 No other nation, tongue, or name, 
 But christian is designed. 
 
 11 Within the volume of God'3 book, 
 No promises are made; 
 
 But to the living on the earth, 
 And no where to the dead. 
 
 12 Now is the day the vision speaks, 
 Those promises make known; 
 
 To him that overcomes, they're made, 
 And unto him alone. 
 
 HYMN 12. 
 The day of Zion. 
 Psa. 10; 2, 13. 
 Arise and favor zion, 
 The day it now has come; 
 Forlo! the six are ended, 
 The seventh has begun; 
 It is the day of rest, 
 From sorrow, fear and sin; 
 When zion shall arise, 
 And her glory dwell within, 
 
27 
 
 It is the day in vision, 
 By prophets long foretold; 
 When won should be builded, 
 As in the days of old; 
 When lo! "ii the mount zion, 
 A company should stand; 
 In a new earth and heaven, 
 Appear within our land. 
 
 The day to favor zion, 
 Is when the power shall fall; 
 It's when the books are opened, 
 And God is all in all, 
 When all things are created, 
 Both new and all divine; 
 It's now you know that zion, 
 Forever more shall shine. 
 
 Her stones are laid with sapphires, 
 Her gates they shall be praise ; 
 Her walls, they are salvation, 
 The days of heaven, her days; 
 All those who do but favor her, 
 By her own powers shall reign; 
 
 Wliile all who do dejpiseher, 
 
 In darkness shall remain 
 
28 
 
 5 This favored day of zion, 
 The scripture clouds appear; 
 A covenant all neiv, 
 Shall bring in the jubilee year; 
 While righteousness descends, 
 As the rain that waters all; 
 You now may know the kingdom, 
 Has come to every soul. 
 
 5 Then let the seventh trumpet, 
 Aloud proclaim the call; 
 For zion shall be favored, 
 Her sun shall rise on all; 
 And as mount zion rises, 
 Great Babylon shall fall; 
 Come out of her my people, 
 Both saints and prophets all. 
 
 HYMN 13. 
 The Everlasting Gospel. 
 Rev. 14; 6. 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 Was never yet proclaimed; 
 The gospel of repentance, 
 Was not that gospel named; 
 
39 
 
 As a witness to all nations, 
 It ha9 now gone before; 
 But the end of it bus come, 
 And it shall be heard no more. 
 
 2 The reconciling gospel, 
 
 Says judgment yet shall come; 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 Proclaims the hour's begun: 
 Believe and be converted, 
 The first required of all; 
 The last s t \ys give God glory, 
 Who worship on this ball. 
 
 3 The gospel of that kingdom, 
 Cried mystery long begun; 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 Aloud proclaims 'tis done; 
 
 And saith the books are opened. 
 No mystery now restrains; 
 The truth of God has come, 
 And eternally remains. 
 
 4 'Twas when the law was ended 
 The christian gospel came; 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 
 Shall follow this the same; 
 
so 
 
 By the first, the Jewish doctrines, 
 That earth was overthrown; 
 The last shakes earth and heaven, 
 By Revelation shown, 
 
 5 The last makes the stone kingdom, 
 The first was ne'er the same; 
 But the fourth kingdom of Daniel, 
 Let all aloud proclaim; 
 Through a long sealed mystery, 
 That kingdom now has reigned; 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 
 Shall sure destroy the same. 
 
 6 The gospel everlasting, 
 Reveals great Babylon; 
 The earth and heaven new, 
 And the New Jerusalem; 
 
 It enlightens all the nations, 
 Who have the scriptures seen; 
 Divines their brightest glory, 
 And makes their meaning plain. 
 
 7 The blessed tree of life, 
 Which shall all nations heal; 
 The gates of the new city, 
 Most truly shall reveal; 
 
31 
 
 Everlasting, now our gospel 
 The wise may now proclaim; 
 For truth which is divine, 
 Is eternally the same. 
 
 The message that we bring, 
 Is the sea of glass with fire; 
 And never can be shaken, 
 But to glory rises higher; 
 As fuel, chaff, and stubble, 
 All works of men destroy; 
 But those of inspiration, 
 Which are without alloy. 
 
 These doctrines are our angels, 
 With Michael they do stand; 
 In heaven, with the dragon, 
 We war with sword in hand; 
 So mighty is our army, 
 That we the. war begin; 
 And surely we shall conquer, 
 All foes of God and man.

 HYMN, 14. 
 
 The seventh Seal opened* 
 
 Rev. 8; 1—20; 11—21; 1— Gen. 2; 4. 
 
 1 Behold, ye sons of men behold, 
 A great white throne appears; 
 
 On doctrines burning wheels of fire, 
 The judgment day is here. 
 
 2 Now let the rushing moral heaven, 
 A thoughtful silence keep; 
 
 For lo! the seventh seal is broke, 
 And thus its contents speak 
 
 3 Within the volume of GocVs look f 
 No mention there appears; 
 
 Of planets being made on days, 
 Or ending in their years. 
 
 4 There's dispensation days we find, 
 And generations made; 
 
 Called heavens and earth to be dissolved, 
 And new ones are portrayed. 
 
 5 Within the book of seven seals, 
 No place, no place is found; 
 For planetary heavens there, 
 O.- earth do they surround. 
 
S3 
 
 6 By all the cacred powers of heaven, 
 We solemnly declare; 
 
 What e'er the word of God contains. 
 We find no planets there. 
 
 7 The six days of creation arc, 
 Time dispensations found ; 
 
 To all the christian earth and heaven, 
 This revelation sound 
 
 8 Behold this weighty vial now, 
 Which all things doth unfold; 
 
 For sure the vials, trumps and seals. 
 Shall heaven and earth controll. 
 
 9 So heaven and earth shall pass away, 
 Which on those days were made; 
 For generations, lo, they are, 
 
 And not of planets said. 
 
 10 Sound on, sound on the seventh trump, 
 Behold God's days appear; 
 
 For lo they are as but it were, 
 Each one a thousand years. 
 
 1 1 The heavens and earth upon them made, 
 
 As old worlds pa#i away; 
 
34 
 
 Was not of nature's planets said, 
 But doctrines in their day. 
 
 12 The antichristian earth and heaven, 
 Shall pass now they are done ; 
 
 As did the Jewish world indeed, 
 When christian was begun. 
 
 13 It's thus the seventh angel pours, 
 His vial in the air; 
 
 And lo, the scripture city now. 
 In three parts does appear. 
 
 14 While nature's course is still the same, 
 All things are new become; 
 
 God's word thus opened in its light, 
 Brings new Jerusalem. 
 
 15 The long predicted world to come, 
 This earth and heaven new; 
 
 Is the stone kingdom now revealed. 
 It's done, and lo. 'tis true.

 HYMN 15. 
 The woman in Ileareu. 
 Rev. 12; 10. 
 
 1 The virgin bride of heaven appears, 
 She is the faith of ancient seers; 
 How great this wonder to behold, 
 
 She reigns in heaven, as long foretold, 
 
 2 The church triumphant is her name, 
 The new Jerusalem's the same; 
 
 And while the scripture, books unfold, 
 Lo she appears as saints of old. 
 
 3 She's clothed with the sun divine, 
 Thus in glory she shall shine; 
 
 The moon, that's called ihe church appears, 
 Beneath her feet, and shines not here. 
 
 4 Twelve stars her glittering head adorns, 
 Her scripture doctrines are her crowns; 
 Now in her golden, heavenly years, 
 
 A mother's bride, and queen appears. 
 
 5 But who her history shall explain, 
 
 In heaven she's travailed in her pain; 
 
 The dragon saw her in her hour, 
 
 Her fruit, her child, fain would devour. 
 
36 
 
 6 But up to God, and his own throne, 
 Her child was caught through faith alone j 
 
 This woman, yea this doctrine fled, 
 Into the wilderness prepared. 
 
 7 With strength Almighty there was fed, 
 In her own place prepared of God; 
 Her son as Michael next appears, 
 The dragon with his angel's fears. 
 
 8 The war is short, lo! Michael stands, 
 The dragon falls, and all his bands; 
 Strength and salvation loud proclaim, 
 In God's own kingdom now he'll reign. 
 
 9 Proud marshal hosts may disappear, 
 Their weapons turn beneath the sod; 
 While Michael's war in heaven is here, 
 And not one's garments rolled in blood. 
 
 10 No more the beastly dragon reigns, 
 His day, his pride, his power are o'er; 
 In vain he'll toss like troubled waves, 
 Or the caged lion vainly roar. 
 
 1 1 The everlasting gospel here, 
 The scripture books of life unfold; 
 
57 
 
 For so conies in the jubilee year, 
 And the new heavens and earth foretold. 
 
 HYMN 16. 
 
 The Sew Jerusalem City measured by the 
 
 Angel. 
 
 1 From Paron's brazen mountain, 
 Jerusalem we'll sing; 
 Descending as a city, 
 Her glory dwells within; 
 The throne of God is in her, 
 While she a bride appears; 
 She is the faith of ancient saints, 
 And reigns eternal years. 
 
 2 Her pearly gates are righteousness, 
 Her wall salvation stands; 
 As the predicted light to shine, 
 Through every christian land; 
 All names of living powers divine, 
 The precious stones of tire; 
 And garnishes her wall within, 
 There are no glories higher. 
 C 
 
S3 
 
 Its from the throne her river pours, 
 
 Her christian doctrines fair; 
 
 These are the leaves of life indeed, 
 
 To heal the nations here; 
 
 Twelve thousand furlongs she's found, 
 
 On every side the same; 
 
 The hundred lorty-four thousand, 
 
 Or witnesses by name. 
 
 Faith is the golden heavenly reed, 
 
 Now in the angel's hand; 
 
 The measured wall is truly squared, 
 
 The measure of a man; 
 
 Pure gold the street and window, love, 
 
 No night or darkness here; 
 
 Nor sun, nor moon of former times, 
 
 For God's own lights' in her. 
 
 Within are those the Lamb redeemed. 
 
 And in life's book appear; 
 
 The kings, their glory shall bring in, 
 
 And saved nations hear; 
 
 No moral death called sin is here, 
 
 Its gates are guarded sure; 
 
 All the unholy dwell without, 
 
 For all within are pure. 
 
39 
 
 Lo, times and seasons now are changed, 
 All things are new become; 
 The books are opened and their light, 
 Makes new Jerusalem; 
 The holy shall be holy still, 
 And the new heaven remain* 
 Come all ye people join our song, 
 And God's own truth maintain. 
 
 HYMN 17. 
 Th8 foolishness of natural wisdom» 
 
 Cor. I ; 20. 
 
 1 Man's wisdom like the shaken reed, 
 Or like the waves may toss; 
 
 Although he claims God's ways to scan, 
 He's still in wonder lost. 
 
 2 Thus wisdom cried in Grecian times, 
 Five thousand God's there be; 
 
 But as the priests the world reformed, 
 They made them one in three. 
 
 3 While thousands of a later date, 
 In doctrines quite as vain; 
 
 C2 
 
40 
 
 Talk of decrees and books of fate, 
 -As though from God they came. 
 
 4 In Pandemonium's dreadful hells, 
 They'll chain their devils there; 
 Then place their Gods in heavens high, 
 And still declare they're here. 
 
 6 Mahomefs, Jews and Christians too, 
 Make images unseen; 
 
 They'll fill the universe of space, 
 Say them the scriptures mean. 
 
 6 While Pagan nation's Gods are made, 
 Of nature and of art; 
 And so engrossed, bewitched are all, 
 With them they're loth to part. 
 
 7 Tis faith alone receives the prize, 
 And speaks the promise true; 
 The wisdom of the world it dies, 
 W T hen truth is brought to view. 
 
 8 In bible lands the scriptures are. 
 In doctrine all complete; 
 Inspired of God the prophet's views,. 
 In hieroglyphics meet. 
 
41 
 
 9 Isaiah, that holy man declares, 
 The heavens depart away; 
 Like as a scroll, cries John, it rolls, 
 It's Daniel's judgment day. 
 
 10 The earth shall melt and be dissolved, 
 Speaks Peter in his turn ; 
 
 The stars shall fall, the sea be void, 
 While fire the pastures burn. 
 
 1 1 The heaven and earth shall flee away, 
 Before a great white throne; 
 
 And a new heaven and earth appear, 
 As in the vision shone. 
 
 12 Expressions high throughout the book, 
 As in those lines here given; 
 Consistency and truth still mind, 
 Though language high as heaven! 
 
 13 Apply ch man, a meaning right, 
 To such poetic strains; 
 
 A sea of glass will rise in view, 
 Which are the gospel plains. 
 
 14 Old fables like the book of night, 
 Shall pass away with noise ; 
 
42 
 
 All Israel hail the heavenly light, 
 And sing eternal joys. 
 
 HYMN 13. 
 
 The Sitting of Judgment. 
 
 Dan. 7; 10. 
 
 1 While numbers as the sand appears, 
 Who have come up through latter years; 
 God's camp of saints they all surround, 
 But with them no true faith is found. 
 
 2 It's then from heaven true light appears, 
 God's own elect, through endless years; 
 Calls up his host of heaven to stand, 
 
 In judgment o'er a guilty land. 
 
 3 When all, to their own ways are fled, 
 And to God's ways, and truth are dead; 
 When al! to Babylon are gone, 
 
 And no o*e left God's truth to mourn. 
 
 4 It's then by inspiration power, 
 
 The seals are loosed for judgment hour; 
 The saints all rise in their own way, 
 And loud proclaim the judgment day, 
 
43 
 
 5 When all have drank that golden cup, 
 Destroyed the earth, and burned it up; 
 While doctrine vain, all love and praise, 
 And talk of going beyond the skies: 
 
 6 It's then in righteous judgment ire, 
 Appears the burning wheels of fire; 
 
 It's heaven's own doctrine, lo, there found, 
 And bears the throne, the world around. 
 
 7 When all mankind go wondering on, 
 About one ancient son of man; 
 
 And preach, and sing, and pray, and sigh, 
 As though he'd gone 'mid planets high: 
 
 8 It's then the seventh trumpet sounds, 
 And brings their pride and folly down; 
 Give them to know the jubilee year, 
 And that the son of man is here. 
 
 8 When atian on nature's works do stare, 
 Say God and Christ and heaven are there, 
 
 While all's beyond the skies they say; 
 
 So great's their false divinitij. 
 
 10 It's then with iron rod appears, 
 The child who reigns eternal years i 
 
 C4 
 
44 
 
 From their high heaven behold they'rhurl'd 
 And plunged into the moral world. 
 
 1 1 Lo! Michael and his angels claim, 
 But in the moral heavens to reign; 
 
 Thus God and Christ, and heaven are near, 
 And lo! eternity is here. 
 
 HYMN 19. 
 Eden or invisible moral happiness. 
 
 Gen. 2; 8; 15; 3; 2,4. 
 
 1 In Eden, Paradise, or Heaven, 
 The tree oflife forever grows; 
 This tree and all its fruits are given, 
 To heal the moral world from woes, 
 
 2 In the same garden with life's tree, 
 There's one of knowledge, lo we find; 
 It's man himself, behold we see, 
 
 For where there's knowledge, lothere'sroiwdL 
 
 3 Evil as well as good, you'll find, 
 Grows in like trees, but that of life; 
 
 Christ and his church were sure designed, 
 By Adam's marriage with hii wife. 
 
45 
 
 4 No more was ever yet designed, 
 By Eden, Paradise or Heaven; 
 But peace and happiness divine, 
 
 Which through man's faith, to him is given- 
 
 5 Adam's the earth, or man's the same, 
 Placed in the garden when e'er made; 
 In God's own image for to shine. 
 
 And clear the earth from darkest shade, 
 
 6 In this God's field or garden fair, 
 The tree of life and knowledge stood; 
 God's word the flaming sword is here, 
 Lo! all dwells in Emanuel's land. 
 
 7 Fain would man put forth all his power, 
 And eat the fruit of life's own tree; 
 
 So live like gods forevermore, 
 But still go on in his own way. 
 
 8 Man feels the loss of moral powers, 
 When from God's garden he is driven; 
 So shall he know the foretold hour, 
 And God's own messenger of heaven. 
 
 9 Let no man think to hide, or fear 
 Behind the scripture trees this day; 
 
46 
 
 Behold the cherubim is here, 
 
 The flaming sword turns every way.

 oughorut the holy volume, 
 A day is there foretold; 
 Upon the v . . wns, 
 
 Ordained from of old; 
 For it is the day of n ". 
 From all sorrow, guilt and sin; 
 V, hen all things are made holy, 
 And their glory shall remain. 
 
 A new people shall arise, 
 At the trumpet they shall hear; 
 Receiving a new kingdom, 
 And on Zion shall appear; 
 
 ir harps and their own girdles, 
 They shall rule in mighty power; 
 Their gospel shall be evermore 
 This is the judgment hour. 
 
47 
 
 Their doctrine shall then sound aloud, 
 All old worlds now are done ; 
 For the new earth and heaven too, 
 Have with them now begun; 
 For old time dispensations, 
 Like the chaff, behold they are gone; 
 Because the books are opened, 
 And their glory now hath shone. 
 
 By the sword of God's own spirit, 
 
 All their enemies shall fall; 
 
 For the everlasting gospel, 
 
 Is the trump they sound to all; 
 
 Alike both days and years indeed, 
 
 All ceremonies vain; 
 
 For heaven and its kingdom sure, 
 
 Shall in themselves remain. 
 
 Henceforth their works shall follow them 
 All power but one's put down; 
 Their reward it shall be with them, 
 And their Lord shall be their crown; 
 They shall consume and shall destroy, 
 All doctrines vain of men; 
 Shall hasten on the kingdom too, 
 That forevermore shall stand. 
 
48 
 
 Who will be this strong people now. 
 For the day has now begun; 
 Despise ye not this prophecy, 
 It's from your moral sun; 
 With these coals now from the altar, 
 Be your heart and tongue on fire; 
 Then your righteousness remains, 
 For the kingdom now is sure. 
 
 HYMN 21. 
 A pure language. 
 
 Zeph. 3; 9. 
 
 1 What e'er the universe contain,, 
 
 That are not temporal things; 
 
 Unseen they dwell within the mind, 
 
 Which doctrines are its springs. 
 
 2 In light shall heaven's own doctrine shine. 
 That in the books were wrote ; 
 The world from darkness shall awr-ke, 
 Their chains shall thus be broke. 
 
 S The sun that should to darkness turn, 
 Was called the son of man; 
 
49 
 
 His ministers themselves the stars, 
 The church herself the moon. 
 
 4 While nature's course is still the same, 
 
 The christian world is burned; 
 The fire of truth, the spirit's flame, 
 Pure language shall return. 
 
 5 No where is death and hell e'er found, 
 But in the minds of men; 
 
 Made up of doctrines false and vain; 
 And give them up they shall. 
 
 6 For lo, the ungodly world is gone, 
 The Jewish world is past; 
 
 No other world but christian now, 
 And this is shaken last. 
 
 7 The long predicted world to come, 
 The earth and heaven new; 
 
 Is the stone kingdom now set up, 
 Thus all things are made true. 
 
 8 Happy the man who overcomes, 
 And will those sayings hear; 
 
 The names of wisdom he shall know, 
 And hail the jubilee year

 1 This is the day so long foretold, 
 By saints and prophets from of old; 
 
 The day which shakes the earth and heaven; 
 By a new revelation given. 
 
 2 The parting times assunder break, 
 In God's own image now awake; 
 Time, dispensation days are done, 
 The seventh day has now begun.

 Let all the world bzhold them here, 
 For judgment and for mercy given, 
 In these the covenant bow of heaven,

 The placid heaven shall around you shine ; 
 
 With God, Heaven and Christ within, 
 We fear no hell, nor death, ncr sin.

 In these perfections now v/e'll sh 
 And bear God's image all divine.

 In a new kingdom, lo, we'll join, 
 Leave mystery, time and sin behind; 
 The powers of Anti-Christ are vain,

 Our gates be praise for every land;

 Rev. 12; 7. 
 
 1 In ancient and in modern days, 
 Has the fell war its thousands slain; 
 
 While slaughter'd blood of millions cries, 
 Aloud toman's eternal shame. 
 
 2 False doctrines have the world deceived, 
 
 As from a constellation given; 
 That starry hosts of men believed, 
 Has been the dragon's reign in heaven. 
 
 3 To save and not destroy once cams, 
 The Son of Man and all his host: 
 
52 
 
 But lo, a world who bear his name, 
 Have rose in wars and carnal lust. 
 
 4 Oh, what a blessed judgment hour, 
 To comprehend the dragon's reign; 
 
 His head and horns called christian powers, 
 Shall be controlled and surely slain. 
 
 5 Think deep ye sons of men who hear, 
 The latter days have now rolled on; 
 The thrones of judgment shall appear, 
 And anti-christian thrones cast down.

 It's done re-echo's from the throne, 
 For lo, the witnesses arise, 
 
 And loud proclaim, behold it's done.

 When you shall overcome;

 Our kingdom shall be one.

 For broken they shall be;

 Remains Eternally.

 This blessed light is mine.

 The veil and Covering rent, 
 
 Isaiah 25; 7, 8. 
 What is that veil of darkness, 
 That shall be rent away? 
 
54 
 
 It's long been spread o'er christians. 
 As on the Jews it lay. 
 
 2 In the letter of the scripture, 
 The word it has been vain; 
 In this the whole creation, 
 Has travailed in pain. 
 
 3 Mid raging tempests driven, 
 And roaring waves around; 
 
 Those bars, the sand of God's own sea, 
 And none could break them down. 
 
 4 This mystic darkened veil, 
 Shall sure be rent in twain; 
 
 He who the sands and bars removes, 
 Shall put them up again. 
 
 5 In God's own image, yet once more, 
 Man surely shall be made ; 
 
 From day to day, from sea to sea, 
 Wisdom, mankind have led.

 As garments worn to shame ; 
 
 Or like the moon in her last wane,

 On dispensation time ;

 How to overcome. 
 Rev. 21; 7. 
 
 1 What shall be done to overcome, 
 And have each promise sealed; 
 To all who have now ears to hear, 
 This truth shall be revealed. 
 
 2 To overcome great Babylon, 
 And learn the truth divine; 
 
 Is but to die to all you've learned, 
 And a new kingdom find 
 
57 
 
 3 From those alone who were inspired, 
 The truth of heaven is seen; 
 
 For all the works of men beside, 
 The chaff and stubble mean. 
 
 4 All that has come upon the earth, 
 Since the blest days of John; 
 Must be renounced and overcome, 
 As doctrines not divine. 
 
 5 The book's been sealed, and mortals vain, 
 And ne'er beheld the day; 
 When their own works, like jews of old , 
 Should all be swept away. 
 
 6 Throughout the universe of space, 
 One book alone is found; 
 
 That e'er was sealed with seven seals, 
 The word of God profound. 
 
 7 Behold ye then thro' earth and heaven, 
 
 No more than one appears; 
 
 To loose the seals of God's own word, 
 
 Throughout eternal years. 
 
 8 Behold God's great foundation laid, 
 By saints and prophets given ; 
 
53 
 
 Six thousand \ears. as it were sealed, 
 While men build earth and heaven. 
 
 9 Theirdoctrines. systems, works andforms, 
 
 Shall henceforth pass away ; 
 Wisdom appears the seals to loose, 
 And brings her perfect day. 
 
 10 Come in. come in, to all she cries, 
 
 The darkened veil pass thrc: 
 
 In a new heaven and earth we'll sing, 
 
 Of God's salvation true.

 The Invisible World. 
 
 Luke, 17; -21— Rom. lOj 3. 
 
 i Was heavenly wisdom mine to scan, 
 
 The ways of God. and ways of man; 
 
 No heaven or hell should I e ? er find, 
 
 But those which dwell within the mind. 
 
 2 Were all the planets in their spheres, 
 Explored in their eternal years; 
 No God. nor heaven, nor angels there, 
 Would e'er be found, that are not here 
 
59 
 
 3 Should eyes of flesh, all space behold, 
 Where thought e 'er reached or planets roll ; 
 
 No heaven or hell would see in all, 
 But as now seen upon this ball. 
 
 4 Above, beneath, before, behind, 
 There are no heaven or hell to find, 
 No good, nor evil can be shown, 
 But in the moral world alone. 
 
 6 Come then and part with all your pride, 
 And lay your mortal thoughts aside; 
 Open your gates and you shall hear, 
 For lo, eternal truth comes near. 
 
 6 To understand, is to behold, 
 
 The things divine which were of old f 
 The mystery of all mysteries sealed, 
 Time's darkest curtain's now revealed. 
 
 7 All chains of former ages break, 
 
 Bid the whole world from death awake; 
 
 The world invisible behold, 
 
 Is mans own mind, the moral ivorld! 
 
 8 Wisdom with all things she can scan. 
 
 Dwells truly in her God-like man; 
 Z)2 
 
60 
 
 In all successive ages round, 
 With living men alone she's found. 
 
 9 What e'er by wisdom men may find, 
 Dwells in themselves, in their own mind, 
 
 Thus God and Christ, and Heaven are near 
 And lo, eternity is here. 
 
 HYMN 23. 
 The Spirit's Hymn. 
 
 Heb. 12; 22; 23. 
 \ Hail ye spirits clothed with organs, 
 Through which music sounds its way; 
 Free, like songsters of the forest, 
 Sing like saints of ancient day 
 Break the silence all around you, 
 Of redemption now we'll sing; 
 Children, children, heaven calls you, 
 Make the vocal regions ring. 
 
 2 We were spirits once in darkness, 
 Like the prisoner in his ceil; 
 Sin the walls and chains around us, 
 Condemnation was our hell; 
 
61 
 
 Sorrow, shame, and tear hung o'er us, 
 Now in penitence we'll tell; 
 Dark despair went fleeting by us, 
 Round us hope stood hovering still. 
 
 3 We were spirits all enchanted, 
 When we saw full mercies blaze ; 
 And began to sing hosamias, 
 'Twas the morning. oi our days; 
 All our prison doors were opened, 
 Free salvation then come in; 
 Grace appeared to us an ocean, 
 Enough to wash the world from sin. 
 
 4 Hail ye spirits of the martyrs, 
 We now lend our organ powers; 
 Hail ye spirit of the prophets, 
 Now descending, lo, 'tis ours;

 Not like billows of the tide.

 Descends to rest with men; 
 
 She is the bride all dressed in white,

 Her gates they shall be praise;

 Foundations ne'er shall fail; 
 
 The spirit's stream shall run like Thames 
 In which the sainis resale.

 All round the nations saved; 
 The tree of life bears fruti above 
 To save from sin's dark grave

 And thus her light appears; 
 
 O'er all the world her light shall shine, 
 
 And shine eternal rears.

 A new son? for Babylon. 
 Jer. 51; 43. Rev. 17; 9,15— 18; 1,2. 
 
 1 Ye cloudy thousands rise, 
 And now sing for Babylon; 
 Throughout her wide domain, 
 All worship now the sun; 
 She's known of all the nations, 
 None "• ith her can compare; 
 
 For her pride has reached to heaven, 
 And her name we will declare. 
 
 2 There's written on her front, 
 Mystery, Babylon the great; 
 On seven mighty mountains, 
 She's builded high in state;

 And proclaims herself his hride; 
 
 While sin- saith within her heart, 
 
 That no sorrow -hall I 
 
 A !■ . ■ r. 
 
 And my Lord remembe'rs me. 
 
 5 Involved in mystic darkm 
 
 - herself in li<»ht ; 
 All her cilivs slie calls rim, 
 In her Gods she takes delight; 
 
66 
 
 She builds her eminent places, 
 In the corners of the streets; 
 Inviting there the nations, 
 In them her people meet. 
 
 It's there her fornication, 
 
 Is poured forth on the;n all; 
 
 Its there she vends her merchandise, 
 
 Called grace and Adam's fall; 
 
 In her scientific pride, 
 
 She's in power over all; • 
 
 To glorify herself, 
 
 On the nations she doth call. 
 
 Mahomets, Jews and Pagans, 
 Her old neighbors, she beholds; 
 And by the expense of millions, 
 Seeks to bring them to her folds; 
 Her merchants and her merchandise. 
 Are far beyond compare; 
 Her great voice and societies, 
 Are now known everywhere. 
 
 Now as a mart of nations, 
 The scriptures are her sea; 
 Her pilots are her teachers, 
 Comprehended thus she'll be; 
 
6? 
 
 Let the earth now be enlightened, 
 By our glory that's so new; 
 While we cry that she is fallen, 
 She is fallen, it is true. 
 
 9 From her beastly foundation, 
 Her broad walls, they shall fall; 
 With the besom of destruction, 
 She shall be swept from all; 
 For her day it has now come, 
 We proclaim aloud to all ; 
 None in her that can save her, 
 From her long predicted fall 
 
 10 What now reigns on the earth, 
 Where the scriptures sure are seen; 
 Is mystery Babylon the great, 
 Called the christian religion ; 
 
 She ne'er was the stone kingdom, 
 As herself she yet shall see; 
 But the fourth kingdom of Daniel, 
 Wherever she may be. 
 
 1 1 She's the heavens and the earth, 
 To be dissolved and pass away, 
 The feet and toes of the image. 
 Composed of Iron and Clay; 
 
68 
 
 As a bible dispensation, 
 Like old worlds, pass away; 
 And the new heavens and earth appear, 
 On our bright millenial day. 
 
 12 The sun it turns to darkness, 
 The moon she turns to blood; 
 The stars they fall from heaven, 
 At the doctrine of the Lord, 
 For the six days of creation, 
 Are finished now and done; 
 Behold the books are opened, 
 And the seventh day's begun. 
 
 HYMN 31. 
 The Lord's light and Earth's darkness. 
 
 Isaiah 60; 1 ; 2. 
 
 1 We look in vain upon the world, 
 To find the everlasting light; 
 
 Their systems, forms and spurious faith, 
 Are doomed to everlasting night. 
 
 2 From Teman and Mount Paron high; 
 The Lord now visits earth's abode; 
 Those brazen mountains, lo, behold* 
 Are scripture witnesses of God, 
 
69 
 
 3 His law, his charriot wheels appear, 
 And through the moral heavens roll, 
 His kingdom all divine is here, 
 
 And shall be spread from pole to pole. 
 
 4 In vain shall death and hell oppose, 
 The stone that Jills the earth to stand) 
 The books are sealed to all his foes, 
 But lo, they're opened in his hand. 
 
 5 The day has come so long foretold, 
 When heaven and earth shall pass away; 
 
 It is the anti-christian world, 
 
 Which shall give place to endless day. 
 
 6 Let the new heaven and earth appear, 
 Where all things are created new; 
 The scripture books of life are here, 
 
 Where speak the saints and prophets true. 
 
 7 Behold these elders now redeemed, 
 From every nation, tongue and power; 
 They stand by him whom they foretold, 
 And loud proclaim the judgment hourv 
 
 8 Depart ye members as the sand, 
 Whose dispensation n w is oJon«; 
 
70 
 
 No Gentiles more than Jews can stand, 
 But scripture witnesses alone. 
 
 9 High up to heaven they now have rose, 
 Their light shall shine for evermore; 
 As clouds beheld by all their foes. 
 But armies of immortal power. 
 
 10 Come waiting people one and all, 
 The voice of many waters hear; 
 Unto the marriage feast you're called, 
 For the great supper, lo\ is here. 
 
 HYMN 32. 
 The people of the saints. 
 Now to the people of the sain ts, 
 Let one and all give ear; 
 Before our God we all have come, 
 This is the jubilee year. 
 
 The saints are in the book of life. 
 But we their people are; 
 We will make room in all our mind, 
 And take the kingdom there. 
 
 Our God is one with us to dwell, 
 The earth shall him adore, 
 
71 
 
 His moral kingdom he'll controll. 
 And reign forevermore. 
 
 4 From Teman as our light he came, 
 And the mount Paron nigh; 
 
 For lo, those testaments divine, 
 His brazen mountains high. 
 
 5 A Son of Man with clouds appears, 
 The witnesses on high; 
 Ordained of old from ancient years, 
 And reigns eternally. 
 
 6 His gospel everlasting brings, 
 The day so long foretold; 
 
 His doctrines are the burning wheels, 
 And o'er the earth shall roll. 
 
 7 Let the first heaven now pass away, 
 A new one has begun; 
 
 For lo, the woman's seed appears, 
 With the stone kingdom come. 
 
 8 No more we trust vain works of men. 
 No more in our hearts say; 
 
 Who shall ascend or yet descend, 
 This is the promised day. 
 
72 
 
 9 Old things with me are done away. 
 And new ones now appear; 
 We're glad we ever saw the day, 
 The great redemption year. 
 
 HYMN. 33. 
 Cherubim Song. 
 
 Psalms, 18; 10. 
 
 Come behold all ye people, 
 
 And the Lord shall appear; 
 
 On his day of redemption, 
 
 And lo, he is here; 
 
 His vengeance for clothing, 
 
 He now has put on 5 
 
 His word shakes the nations, 
 
 And darken's the sun. 
 
 The stars like the meteors, 
 All fall from their spheres; 
 When he points to his kingdom. 
 Or speaks of his years; 
 He bends his own bow, 
 And his lightnings they fly; 
 While his thunders roll on ; 
 And the pride of all die 
 
73 
 
 He moves on in tempests, 
 Or in zephyrs appears; 
 Calls in his own harvest, 
 And burns up the tares; 
 Jlis treasures are boundless, 
 All laid up in store; 
 There's food for all nations, 
 And garments to wear. 
 
 When he opens his armors, 
 
 Lo! wonders are there; 
 
 As a warrior, his army 
 
 All deathless appear; 
 
 Bright sword, and bright arrows, 
 
 All burnished now are; 
 
 In his camp, lo! white horses, 
 
 In numbers are there. 
 
 All waiting in silence, 
 His command for to hear, 
 At the voice of their shepherd, 
 All his hosts now appear; 
 Wild beasts change their places, 
 And the earth's put in fear; 
 The streams leave their courses, 
 And the rocks disappear; 
 
 ' r : 
 
74 
 
 Tha mountains all leap : 
 
 From their beds when they hear; 
 
 Lo! the rallies all rise, 
 
 And his highway is there; 
 
 Through the sea with his horses, 
 
 Behold him pass on; 
 
 With his rod s::.::es the nations, 
 
 And - hi to mourn. 
 
 Great Ba lakea, in 
 
 The end of her years,

 Sound aloud all his seers; 
 Her kings leave their thronef, 
 And he down in despair; 
 The earth hears her cry, 
 While her smoke rises there. 
 
 The heavens stand trembling, 
 And the sea sea bigher; 
 
 While he rides in his charriot, 
 And the world is on fire;

 dog and Magog. 
 
 Ezek. 33 &. 39. Rev. 20; 8. 
 
 1 What is that beloved city, 
 And camp of saints foretold ; 
 
 Which gog and magog's mighty powers, 
 Would all surround so bold? 
 
 And pray, what fire is that comes down, 
 On numbers as the sand; 
 
 When the great vision too, should speak, 
 And books shall open stand? 
 
 2 That camp of saints is God's own word, 
 
 The scriptures all divine; 
 It's here the saints and prophets meet, 
 
 And speak, and reign, and shine; 
 No other camp of saints we know, 
 
 Nor city thus sublime; 
 Which people as the sand have seen, 
 
 But testaments we find. 
 
 S The christian dispensation now, 
 The earth on which appears; 
 Those numbers as the sand led on, 
 As it were two thousand vears; 
 
76 
 
 From its four quarters, still led on, 
 Through self deception's power; 
 
 On all its breadth behold they're come, 
 To meet the judgment hour. 
 
 4 The heavenly witnesses indeed, 
 
 The camp and city mean; 
 And as the scripture books unfold, 
 
 The fire, the law is seen. 
 Oh how divided are those powers, 
 
 Called christian, great and small) 
 How dead they stand before their God, 
 
 Whose truth is sent for all. 
 
 5 Unto the life of saints they're dead, 
 
 Called prophets in their time; 
 All christians, like the Jews are dead. 
 
 To God and his own mind; 
 These are the dead who shall be judged, 
 
 From what the books contain; 
 According to their works indeed, 
 For so the samts shall reign. 
 
 6 How deep and broad is God's own word, 
 
 Which as the sea appears; 
 While dispensations are its dayt< 
 Ettrnal are its years; 
 
77 
 
 So shall this sea give up its dead, 
 When mysteries disappear; 
 
 And death, and hell forever flee, 
 The spirit world now here. 
 
 HYMN 35. 
 Watchman, what of the night? 
 Isaiah 21; 11. 
 I've heard of a trumpet, 
 From zion shall sound; 
 Great Babylon fall, 
 And no more be found; 
 When the thrones of the might/, 
 Shall crumble and fall; 
 And all man's vain heavens, 
 Depart like a scroll: 
 
 I've heard, while the heavens, 
 Would appear without light; 
 When the watchmen proclaim, 
 Both the day and the night; 
 Alas! for those shepherds, 
 Who shall howl in that day; 
 When Jordan is spoiled, 
 And their gods pass awtv 
 
78 
 
 I've heard of great nations. 
 
 Who'll shake at the fall, 
 
 Of Lebanon's cedar, 
 
 Which gave fruit to them alfj 
 
 Behold now the image, 
 
 For destruction would stand; 
 
 While a stone from the mount lin, 
 
 Appears without hai 
 
 I've heard that the sun 
 Should be darkened to shame; 
 The moon be confounded, 
 And the Lord of hosts rt 
 While the nation's great cities, 
 The prophets foresaw; 
 Shall fall in the war 
 And be burned by the law. 
 
 I've heard that two gates, 
 Should be opened to stand, 
 And be spread out as wings, 
 Till Emanuel's land, 
 The secrets of wisdom, 
 Like treasures be given, 
 God's elect take the land, 
 Aa the kingdom of heaven- 
 
79 
 
 I've heard zion's watchmen, 
 Shall then sec eye to eye; 
 For the mystery u finished, 
 And the timo, has come nigh; 
 For the city of cities, 
 God's word now appears; 
 And the life of man's hand, 
 Is the Lord himself there. 
 
 HYMN 36. 
 
 The Slumbering Virgins 
 
 Mat. 25; 6; 10. 
 
 1 Awake ye slumbering christians, 
 And Gabriel's trumpet hear; 
 The everlasting gospel, 
 Proclaims the judgment here; 
 The midnight cry's been sounded, 
 The bride has entered in; 
 
 The wise have all ascended, 
 And left the world of sin; 
 
 2 Your lamps ye foolish virgins, 
 Have all gone out in night; 
 
 While saints and prophet's doctrine, 
 
 Now shine in endless light; 
 £3 
 
so 
 
 From the four winds ef heaven, 
 The elect are gathered here; 
 Within the holy volume, 
 Their rames enrolled appear. 
 
 I No boasting now ye christians, 
 Like Jews your'e left behind; 
 God's line of separation. 
 Is drawn through endless time. 
 Ye are the saint's own people, 
 The camp of saint's surround; 
 But in the holy city, 
 God's saints alone are found. 
 
 4 Why should your Idols, christians, 
 Be placed above the sky ? 
 They'll fall into perdition, 
 
 And the pride of all shall die. 
 Your sun now turns to darkness, 
 And earth is overthrown; 
 Mount Zion now is builded, 
 And shall to all be shown. 
 
 5 For the new heaven is coming, 
 The bride she's all complete; 
 The moon, your christian system. 
 
 Is all beneath her feet ; 
 
81 
 
 Come out of mystic darkness, 
 Look forward to the day; 
 When sorrow, sin and mourning, 
 From all shall pass away. 
 
 Light up your souls in wisdom, 
 Our God and Christ arc near; 
 And sing aloud salvation, 
 Redemption now is here. 
 
 HYMN 37. 
 The Jubilee?. 
 
 The mystery of times, 
 Shall no longer remain; 
 Nor the world through their faith, 
 Longer travail in pain; 
 For an end of all mystery, 
 Through scripture we'll bring; 
 So comes the blest Sabatic year, 
 Let earth and heaven sing. 
 
 The long sealed fountains, 
 We'll open abroad ; 
 And pour out the scriptures, 
 Those waters of God; 
 
S2 
 
 While the stone from the mount, 
 Of God shall appear; 
 Welcome in all, my Brethren, 
 This great redemption year. 
 
 The world called christian, 
 Like old worlds are done; 
 For the new earth and heaven, 
 Have surely begun; 
 It's the kingdom of glory, 
 Which all things contains, 
 Now descends the new city, 
 And ever remains. 
 
 In the end of the world, 
 Called the fullness of time; 
 The books they are opened, 
 And all men shall find; 
 No planets of nature, 
 Shall vanish away; 
 But time dispensations, 
 By the bright Millenial day. 
 
 The heaven and the earth, 
 Of generations we find; 
 Has been the whole creation. 
 In darkness of mind; 
 
#3 
 
 But their chains shall be broken, 
 The world shall be free ; 
 And in our new Jerusalem, 
 We'll shout the jubilee, 
 
 HYMN 38. 
 A Trumpet for the Priests. 
 
 Joel, 2; 14; 17. 
 
 1 Why should the priests, 
 With voice on high; 
 Put all the world in fear, 
 
 Since eighteen hundred forty three, 
 Is now the jubilee year? 
 
 2 Why should they still, 
 Exalt themselves; 
 The visions to controll, 
 
 Since on this great redemption year, 
 Michael the books unfolds? 
 
 3 Why should those men, 
 The earth destroy, 
 
 By doctrines false and vain, 
 
 Since now the seventh angel sounds, 
 
 Their system shall be slain ? 
 
84 
 
 Why should those stars 
 
 Go wandering on, 
 
 About one Son of Man? 
 
 Since at this time so long foretold, 
 
 He's found near Babylon? 
 
 Why should the seers, 
 
 So blind remain; 
 
 Deceive themselves and all, 
 
 Since in the end of their own times, 
 
 From heaven the dragons fall? 
 
 Why should those lords, 
 Expect a man, 
 From nature's regions high? 
 Although he ivas, he sure is not, 
 And yet behold he's nigh* 
 
 Why should those kings, 
 Go on in pride, 
 The Son of man deny ? 
 Since all's been warned from olden times, 
 Their faith and hope may die. 
 
 J Let not the priests. 
 Stand gazing still, 
 From old Bethany'* plain; 
 
85 
 
 Nor think in fog as mystic tloudi, s 
 Mesiah's come to reign. 
 
 9 Let all the world 
 Now understand, 
 The clouds by which he came; 
 Were scripture clouds of gospel heav&iit 
 
 In these he comes again. 
 
 10 Let all mankind, 
 
 Take warning now, 
 From Jews they so much blame, 
 That by the scripture books unsealed', 
 The anointed comes to reign. 
 
 I 1 Now let the priests, 
 
 Anoint their eyes; 
 And they shall henceforth sec, 
 That Esdras lion from the v. ood, 
 The mountain stone shall be.

 HYMN, 39. 
 A Sons for our day. 
 1 My soul in visions, on our tin- 
 .- ime heavenly Ham* 5 now bear 
 
S6 
 
 A raptured sound to raise; 
 The listning heavens now hear the sound, 
 And slumbering earth shall wake around, 
 
 To bring millenial days. 
 
 S Behold in bright array appears, 
 
 A host of heaven these latter years, 
 For to redeem the world; 
 With music's sounds sublime they call; 
 To raise the world both one and all, 
 And banners all unfurled. 
 
 3 Now let the seven thunders roll, 
 And sweep the earth from pole to pole, 
 From every hell-born sin; 
 
 Break every chain of ages past, 
 And bid the world awake at last, 
 And bring salvation in. 
 
 4 On yonder hill see peace now stand, 
 A fair white banner in her hand, 
 And truth stands by her side; 
 
 Still farther on see banners fly, 
 They're temperance flags of victory, 
 But still they're marching on. 
 
87 
 
 5 There { s one more phalanx true and brave, 
 They're marching forward tor the slave, 
 The world they would make free. 
 Justice and truth, their motto's right, 
 And in the name of heaven they fight, 
 They're sure of victory. 
 
 8 Such are the people of the saints, 
 To free the earth from her complaintg f 
 And bring the promised day; 
 No martial music like a flood, 
 Weapons nor garments rolled in blood, 
 When God prepares the way, 
 
 5 They're clothed with armor for the fight, 
 And robes of victory pure and white, 
 They're sure to win the day; 
 All who shall dare to these oppose, 
 To the new heaven and earth are foes, 
 And sure shall pass away. 
 
 8 Let all now hear the trumpets sound, 
 Arise and put intemperance down, 
 Until our world are free ; 
 Break the war spirit in our land, 
 Burst slavery's chains and every band. 
 And then's the jubilee. 
 
88 
 
 HYMN 40. 
 A voice from the mountain. 
 There's crowns and bright laurels, 
 Prepared for the brave ; 
 Who have entered the war, 
 In behalf of the slave; 
 No death, blood nor carnage, 
 Has stained their renown; 
 In posterity's archives, ■ 
 Shall appear their just crown. 
 
 The names'of death's warriors, 
 Shall dwindle to shame; 
 From the^records of Heaven, 
 Shall peace blot their name, 
 While those ciad in armor, 
 Of truth for the fight; 
 Shall shine in that kingdom, 
 Where^God has^ his_right. 
 
 Shame, shame, on those Priests," 
 
 Politicians and ali; 
 
 Who pervert Heaven's records 
 
 For to make justice fall; 
 
 Who would prove war, oppression, 
 
 And slavery right; 
 
89 
 
 From a book they call holy, 
 And wisdom's delight. 
 
 Shout aloud from your walls, 
 Abolitionists brave; 
 God's elect forge no chains , 
 For to bind down the slave, 
 They're sons of perdition 
 Who use heaven's tools; 
 To fight abolition, 
 And make the world fools. 
 
 Roll on the bright car 
 Of redemption for all; 
 From heterodox thrones, 
 The once mighty shall fall; 
 Those who from our bible, 
 Preach slavery is right; 
 Prove satan's tranformed, 
 Into angels of light. 
 
 As the stream shows the fountain, 
 And the fruit proves the tree, 
 It's the dragon in heaven, 
 That upholds slavery; 
 Now as lightning he falls, 
 And from heaven is driven; 
 
90 
 
 By the gospel of God, 
 
 Or the truth bathed in heaven, 
 
 Blind bishops and priests, 
 In their clerical power; 
 Are without root or branch, 
 In the true judgment hour; 
 Who have ruled oe'r the world, 
 In oppression and pride; 
 But Christ in his members, 
 By works have denied. 
 
 Two millions of slaves, 
 In this land they call free; 
 What a paradox this! 
 But those priests will not see; 
 They would prove slavery right. 
 By that old written word; 
 While prayers, tears and blood, 
 Cries for vengeance to God. 
 
 If in word they allow, 
 That cursed slavery is wrong; 
 War, duels, oppression, 
 To Satan belong; 
 Then why live in ease, 
 And do nothing to hinder; 
 
91 
 
 Seek for loavei and for fishes, 
 And sectarian splendor. 
 
 10 Had the priests rose en-masse, 
 As they ought to have done; 
 When the trump and the battle 
 For the slave first began; 
 They might have been freed, 
 And this nation set right; 
 And dark legislation, 
 
 Been past as the night. 
 
 1 1 Tax the genius and talant, 
 In true zeal from this hour; 
 For earth's happy freedom, 
 As for sect and for power; 
 Not a bondman, a slaver, 
 Nor thirster for blood, 
 Would belong in this land, 
 On this footstool of God. 
 
 12 Free the slaves of the north, 
 For our cause is from heaven; 
 Then the south will give up, 
 And the victory be given; 
 Stand firm in your ranks, 
 
 All my brethren now free;

 With heralds and trumpets. 
 To the great jubilee.

 The perfect day. 
 
 Isa. 1; 27. Pro. 4; 18. 
 
 1 All hail the light the heavenly ray, 
 We've come unto the perfect day, 
 And darkness left behind; 
 
 Now on the sea of glass we stand, 
 In a celestial covenant band, 
 And Grace rewards we find. 
 
 2 No more shall mystery now control, 
 Leadcaptive on, earth's wayward souls. 
 
 In self-deception's chain; 
 Speak truth in love, be just to all, 
 With humble heart walk on this ball, 
 Then with our God we reign. 
 
 3 Sectarian forms and customs vain, 
 Like ghostly shadows long in train, 
 Will ne'er redeem the land; 
 
 It's by good deeds and works alone ; 
 The people of the saints are known, 
 Without profession's waud. 
 
93 
 
 i Now on this great redemption year, 
 The covenant bow of heaven is here, 
 All written in our heart; 
 One faith, one hope, one love shall stand, 
 As the true light for every land, 
 And never shall depart. 
 
 5 Now let the works of men be try'd, 
 By fire of truth which shall abide, 
 From God's own word so dear; 
 This revelation day's for all, 
 Great Babylon herself shall fall, 
 And light divine appear. 
 
 6 In everlasting gospel sound, 
 
 We hear the trump of God profound, 
 For all, the tidings roll; 
 It shakes the heaven, earth and sea, 
 Rends the dark veil of mystery, 
 And all things shall controll. 
 
 7 Come, lay all mortal thoughts aside, 
 Vain doctrine, sect, and lust of pride, 
 And thus prepare the way; 
 
 From zion's hill hear wisdom call, 
 To all the world both great and small, 
 And come to zion's dav. 
 
94 
 
 HYMN, 42, 
 
 Light for the Gentiles. 
 
 Isa. 60; 1,22. 
 
 1 Arise ye people of the saints, 
 Behold your light is come ; 
 
 Lift up your heads and now behold,. 
 The new Jerusalem. 
 The everlasting covenant bow, 
 Six thousand years has run; 
 The elect are all encircled here, 
 From Enoch down to John. 
 
 2 Arise ye people of the saints, 
 Behold the mystery done; 
 
 The books unsealed and opened stand, 
 
 For the stone kingdom come; 
 
 With robes and crowns on zion's hill, 
 
 The witnesses appear; 
 
 Come all the world, come follow them* 
 
 This great redemption year. 
 
 S Arise ye people of the saints, 
 Behold God's heavenly train; 
 From the four winds are gathered in, 
 And evermore shall reign: 
 
95 
 
 While all in life's own book now stands, 
 Like Daniel on our day; 
 Shall shine as stars in gospel heaven, 
 While nations pass away. 
 
 4 Arise ye people of the saints, 
 
 Behold what faith has done; 
 Kingdoms and worlds subdued and formed, 
 
 Still shine now as the sun; 
 
 By old Elijah's wonderous faith, 
 
 And Moses' faith still higher; 
 
 In glory speak of God's own word, 
 
 Those charriots of his fire. 
 
 5 Arise ye people of the saints, 
 Behold that host of flame; 
 In everlasting gospel sound, 
 And judgment here proclaim, 
 As prophets spake and gave the law, 
 Called angels of the Lord; 
 Through faith are all translated now, 
 By his own holy word. 
 
 6 Arise ye people of the saints, 
 
 Behold the clouds of heaven; 
 
 All scripture doctrine's raised on high, 
 
 By saints and prophets given; 
 F2 
 
96 
 
 Like shadows from the earth they fled. 
 Who did redemption seek; 
 To all the world who ne'er saw them, 
 Forever live and speak. 
 
 Arise ye people of the saiuls. 
 
 Behold to you are given, 
 
 All things the word of God contains, 
 
 For anew earth and heaven; 
 
 Take now the kingdom over all, 
 
 Be faithful just, and true; 
 
 Claim every promise of your Lord, 
 
 And a new name's for you. 
 
 HYMN 43. 
 
 Fall of Mystery Babylon. 
 
 Rev. 18; 2,8. 
 
 The angel from heaven, 
 Proclaims now the call, 
 Great Babylon's fallen; 
 Come out one and all, 
 Forsiike all her sins, 
 And now fly heaven's ire, 
 For the truth of God's come. 
 And shall burn her with fire. 
 
97 
 
 Full of mystery and darkness, 
 Great Babylon rose; 
 She is Sodom and Egypt, 
 The witness' foes; 
 As the Tyras of nations, 
 Behold she has stood; 
 In trade with men's souls, 
 As with innocent blood. 
 
 In her mystical cities, 
 Her idols of fame, 
 Her angels and spirits, 
 And mysteries she'll name; 
 Full of slavery and war, 
 Of oppression and pride, 
 God's truth and his christ; 
 By her works has denied. 
 
 Her wine from her cup, 
 Lo, her merchants have given 
 She calls it God's truth, 
 And the gospel from heaven; 
 She is drunken, deceived, 
 And all covered with blood; 
 The world she's deceived, 
 And made vain the good word. 
 F3 
 
98 
 
 She has reigned o'er the world, 
 
 With a mighty eontroll; 
 
 The dark page of time, 
 
 Has long sought to unroll. 
 
 God's truth falsified, 
 
 Has now reach'd up to heaven; 
 
 Like babel of old, 
 
 To destruction is given. 
 
 Come out, oh! my people, 
 Put away your false fears; 
 Hear the voice now from heaven, 
 It's the end of her years; 
 Raise your voice she is fallen, 
 Lift your banners on hi<rh; 
 Great voices in heaven, 
 Now proclaim victory. 
 
 Her plagues are now coming, 
 Her merchants shall mourn; 
 All her merchandise fail, 
 And with fire shall be burned; 
 Stand not afar off, 
 While her torments you hear; 
 But forsake all her sins, 
 And we've nothing to fear.

 HYMN. 44. 
 New People. 
 Psa. 102; 18. 
 The Lord's day is coming, 
 Its dawning in sight; 
 With reason, with justice, 
 And scriptures in light; 
 True wisdom is coming, 
 On her own gospel day: 
 Where old forms and system's, 
 Like chaff pass away, 
 
 There's a people a coming, 
 To supplant former times; 
 In doctrine and practice, 
 With sanctified mind's 
 They are coming triumphant, 
 As a new earth begun; 
 For the old world is finished, 
 As the Jew's once was done. 
 
 The people are coming, 
 In a kingdom to stand; 
 It's without end of days, 
 And for every land; 
 
 F3 
 
100 
 
 As the light of the world, 
 The dominion is given; 
 Over all shall they rule, 
 In a new gospel heaven. 
 
 Salvation and strength, 
 Shall revoke the dark power, 
 Bring in truth and peace, 
 And the true jugment hour; 
 Come all ye saint's people, 
 All my bretheren come in; 
 Do right is our watchword, 
 And live without sin. 
 
 HYMN. 45. 
 The Great Image. 
 Of all the dreams or visions found, 
 Throughout the volume of the hook; 
 There's none more full of meaning found, 
 Than the great Image to he broke. 
 Its brightness and its form a3 seen, 
 Was said to be most terrible, 
 By Daniel who explained the dream — 
 In all its parts infallible. 
 Its head was of the finest gold, 
 Silver its arms and breast of fame, • 
 We're of its brazen belly told, 
 Iff thigh*, 'tis said, were of the same. 
 
101 
 
 A composition made ita^feet 
 
 And toes, alas, how strangely good, — 
 
 For clay and iron in tbem meet, 
 
 While thus in vision form he stoo:l. 
 
 In modern times, and days of old, 
 
 Men have on this great Image spoke, 
 
 Yet vain's their comments to unfold. 
 
 And all their diserlations wrote. 
 
 Seal up the hook till Latter Days, 
 
 It in the End shall surely speak, 
 
 In holy Daniel's vision says, 
 
 No man its seals, till then can break; 
 
 No more has works of men explained, 
 
 God's truth in this great Image seen, 
 
 Than that once set on Dura's plain, 
 
 Does Nile's colossial statue mean. 
 
 Hut lo the Latter Days roll on, — 
 
 The fountains of the deep are broke : 
 
 lie silent all ye sons of men, 
 
 For lo the vision now hath spoke; — 
 
 The stone that doth the Image smite. 
 
 Is from the mountain without hand; 
 
 God is that mount of fire and light,* 
 
 Whose power and truth none can withsland. 
 
 The doctrine then the Stone reveals t 
 
 We louden metre now will sound, 
 
 That freed from Mystery's darkest seals, 
 
 We'll sing and shout the Image down. 
 
 Know then in order there has reigned. 
 
102 
 
 Five Kingdoms only on the earth. 
 That in this Image were contained — 
 And here we know their imperial birth. 
 A Caldean'empire reigned of old, 
 It did the earth the world comprise, 
 This was the first— that head of gold ; 
 And then the Meeds and Persians rise, — 
 These were the arms the vision told, 
 In the great Cyrus they were joined; 
 This was the kingdom next of gold, 
 Scripture and history's thus combined. 
 The kingdom of the Greeks then came, 
 And reigned o'er all the earth before, 
 Great Alexander known by name, 
 Was first which made that brazen power. 
 As Iron then the Rotnati's rose, 
 All prior Powers they then o'er turned; 
 Throughout the world their power disclosed 
 And long for earthly gloryfburned. 
 All history, truth and reason join, 
 To loud proclaim the Roman power; 
 The fourth the Image did divine, 
 Of kingdoms^to this present hour, 
 There yet remains one kingdom jn ore 
 In the great Image, that we mean, 
 His feet and^toes we must explain, 
 Then all shall^see as then was seen. 
 In volumed works of men you'll find, ' 
 The foretold smiting they would shun, 
 
103 
 
 Through pride and darkness, death of mind, 
 
 Oft wo whole kingdoms, they make one. 
 
 The feet, and toes, and legs, they say, 
 
 Means kingly — Roman — vassal powers; 
 
 The Jews Masias in his day, 
 
 All but themselves, they say devours. 
 
 But sure their day is turned to night, 
 
 While Scripture truth we will unfold; 
 
 For darkness long man's put for light, 
 
 God's truth alone they have not told. 
 
 Distinct from all the Image parts, 
 
 The feet and toes made one whole power, 
 
 And long they've reigned with all their hearts; 
 
 Until this day's predicted hour. 
 
 What power, what kingdom or what name, 
 
 Has fell'd the Roman power indeed ? 
 
 A power called Christian sure has come, 
 
 And o'er the world has took the lead! 
 
 When Constantiue the great was heard, 
 
 Transformed was earth as by a nod, 
 
 Christian the Roman Empire turned, 
 
 And worshipped man, and called bim Gud. 
 
 Under the Christian name alone, 
 
 From that day to the present time, 
 
 The Image's feet and toes have reigned, 
 
 Thus plain the truth of God shall shine. 
 
 As the fourth kingdom of the Beasts, 
 
 Behold it now, divided stand ! 
 
 As Catholic, and Protestant, 
 
104 
 
 It's plain to all, in every land, 
 
 Within this kingdom have they joined 
 
 The soft clay powers, with iron ore, 
 
 Religion which m;ikes as clay the mind, 
 
 With warlike iron's thundering power. 
 
 The civil powers the iron mean, 
 
 The powers religious are the clay; 
 
 O'er all the Christian world they've reigned. 
 
 Together firm they cannot be. 
 
 Protestant Eclesiastical powers, 
 
 CalPd Christian at the present day, 
 
 These are the Image toes resound; 
 
 And lo! they all shall pass away.
