 Hail the day of full release ; 
 Zion's walls are now erected, 
 
 And her watchmen publish peace 
 From the distant courts of Shinah 
 The shrill trumpets loudly roar, 
 Babylon is fallen, is fallen, is fallen . 
 Babylon is fallen, to rise no more. 
 
 Hark, and hear the people crying, 
 
 See the people disappear, 
 Trade and traffic all a dying, 
 
 So we sink and perish here ; 
 Sailors that have bought her traffic, 
 
 Crying from the distant shore, &lc. 
 
 All her merchants cry with wonder, 
 What is this that's come to pass ? 
 
 Murmuring, like the distant thunder, 
 Crying out, Alas ! Alas ! 
 
 Swell the sound, ye Kings and nobles, 
 Priests and people, rich and poor — &. c. 
 
 Lo her captains are returning, 
 
 Up to Zion, see them fly, 
 While the smoke of Babel burning,

 SECOND ADVENT HYMNS. 
 
 Roils across the darkened sky : 
 Now's the day of consummation, 
 She must fall to rise no more, &x. 
 
 Zion's children, raise your voices, 
 And the joyful news proclaim ; 
 
 Now the heavenly host rejoices, 
 And re-echoes back the same ; 
 
 See the ancients of the city, 
 Terrified at the uproar, &c. 
 
 Tune your harps, ye heavenly choir, 
 Shout ye followers of the Lamb, 
 
 See the city all on fire, 
 
 Clap your hands and blow the flame ; 
 
 Now behold this awful kingdom, 
 All consuming in her gore, &c. 
 
 Hymn 20. 
 
 New Jerusalem. 
 Lo, what a glorious sight appears, 
 
 To our believing eyes ; 
 The earth and seas are passed away, 
 And the old rolling skies ! 
 
 Chorus. 
 O that will be joyful, i 
 
 When we meet to part no more, ^ 
 On Canaan's happy shore. 
 
82 SECOND ADVENT HYMNS. 
 
 'Tis there we'll meet at Jesus' feet, 
 When we meet to part no more. 
 
 From the third heaven, where God re- 
 sides, 
 That holy, happy place, 
 
 The new Jerusalem comes down, 
 Adorned with shining grace. 
 
 'Attending angels shout for joy, 
 And the bright armies sing, 
 
 "Mortals, behold the sacred seat 
 Of your desending King ! 
 
 "The God of glory down to men 
 Removes his blest abode ; 
 
 Men are the objects of his love ; 
 And he their gracious God. 
 
 "His own soft hand shall wipe the tears 
 From every weeping eye ; 
 
 And pains, and groans, and griefs, and 
 fears, 
 And death itself shall die." 
 
 How bright the vision ! O, how long 
 Shall this glad hour delay ! 
 
 Fly swiftly round, ye wheels of time, 
 And bring the welcome day.

 Hymn 21. 
 
 The Cross. , 
 Must Simon bear his cross alone, 
 
 And all the world go free t 
 No, there's a cross for ev'ry one, 
 
 And there's a cross for me. 
 
 How happy are the saints above 
 Who once went mourning here ; 
 
 But now they taste unmingled love 
 And joy without a tear. 
 
 We'll bear the consecrated cross 
 Till from the cross we're free, 
 
 And then go home our crowns to wear. 
 For there's a crown for me. 
 
 Hymn 22. 
 Heavenly Union. 
 I wonder why old saints don't sing, 
 And praise the Lord upon the wing, 
 And make the heavenly arches ring, ' 
 With loud Hosannah to their king, 
 Who brought their souls to Union. . 
 
 O could I, like an angel, sound 
 Salvation through the earth around. 
 The devil's kingdom to confound, 
 
 I

 And triumph on Immanuel's ground, 
 And spread this heavenly Union. 
 
 We soon shall leave, all things below, 
 And quit this vale of pain and woe, , 
 - And then we'll all to glory go, 
 And then we'll see and hear and know, 
 And feel this heavenly Union. 
 
 There we the glorious Lamb shall see 
 Who groaned and died upon the tree, 
 And spilt his blood to set us tree, 
 That we might his salvation see, 
 And feel his heavenly Union. 
 
 Almighty God, teach heart and tongue, 
 To thee, to raise a greatful song, 
 All praises to thy name belong. 
 Let Zion sing thy "kingdom come" 
 And fill this world with Union.
