THE GREAT SALVATION.
Glorious days shall be to Zion
When her conflicts are no more,
And the Saviour she relies on,
Sits enthroned in regal power.
When her conflicts are no more,
And the Saviour she relies on,
Sits enthroned in regal power.
Broken, every captive's fetter,—
All in Jesus shall be free;
Kings shall crowd to Heaven's sceptre;
All the earth shall bow the knee.
All in Jesus shall be free;
Kings shall crowd to Heaven's sceptre;
All the earth shall bow the knee.
306
Hail, the willing nations, bending,
Prince of Peace, before Thy throne!
Heaven to earth, in love descending,
Views a world at peace,—Thine own.
Prince of Peace, before Thy throne!
Heaven to earth, in love descending,
Views a world at peace,—Thine own.
In the scenes of coming glory,
All the ransomed hosts shall share;
All the holy, all the lowly,
Shall the crown of glory wear.
All the ransomed hosts shall share;
All the holy, all the lowly,
Shall the crown of glory wear.
Hosts from every clime and nation
Then shall be in Christ made one;
Gained in full, the Great Salvation,—
Life and joy immortal, won.
Then shall be in Christ made one;
Gained in full, the Great Salvation,—
Life and joy immortal, won.
