[Welcome the bright millennial day]

In that day, the mountains shall drop down, &c. —iii. 18.

Welcome the bright millennial day
When former things are pass'd away,
When earth in righteousness renew'd,
Blooms as at the beginning good!
Wine from the mountain-tops distils,
And milky currents from the hills,
Rivers of living water rise,
Pure as their Fountain in the skies.
Forth-issuing from Jehovah's throne
Sent by the Father and the Son,
The Holy Ghost His fulness pours
In glorious, everlasting showers;
The King of saints resides below,
His Spirit doth our vale o'erflow,
Brings back the garden of the Lord,
And shows us paradise restored.
