The publication of this little collection of hymns was undertaken solely to meet the immediate and pressing demand for hymn books throughout the church, and under circumstances utterly forbidding the hope that the work would be satisfactory, either to the compiler or the public. The selection of the hymns has been attended to by different individuals for each sheet as it went to press, without any systematic arrangement, and the mechanical work has been done in distinct jobs, over a long period of time, as circumstances would admit. The only apology we offer to the public for thus getting out the work is, the entire want of means to do otherwise. The attempt to raise money by subscription to sustain the work was a failure. It did not realize one-fourth the expense of the paper. We hope, and it is all we can hope in the premises, that this work will answer the present purpose, until time can be had to revise and republish in better style and order a suitable collection for the use of the saints.

4 Translated by the power of God,
His voice bears record to his word;
Again the angels re-appear,
As witnesses the record bear.

5 Restored the priesthood, long since lost,
In truth and power, as at the first;
Thus men commissioned from on high,
Came forth and did repentance cry.

6 Baptizing those who did believe,
That they the spirit might receive
In fulness, as in days of old,
And have one shepherd and one fold.

And listen to the words of life;
Turn from your sins with one accord,
Prepare to meet your coming Lord.

2 Let Judah's remnants far and near
The glorious proclamation hear,

For Israel and the Gentiles too,
The way to Zion shall pursue.

3 Their voices and their tongues employ,
In songs of everlasting joy;
The mountains and the hills rejoice,
Let all creation hear his voice.

In thee all nations shall be blessed;
When Abram and his seed shall stand
Unnumbered on the promised land.

### PRAISE.

L. M.

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land by every tongue.

'Till suns shall rise to set no more.

ZION.

L. M.

1 ARISE! arise!—with joy survey
'The glory of the latter day:
Already is the dawn begun
Which marks at hand a rising sun!

2 “Behold the way!” ye heralds cry:
Spare not—but lift your voices high:
Convey the sound from pole to pole,
“Glad tidings,” to the captive soul.

3 “Behold the way to Zion's hill,
Where Israel's God delights to dwell!
He fixes there his lofty throne,
And calls the sacred place his own.”

4 The north gives up—the south no more
Keeps back her consecrated store:
From east to west the message runs,
And both the India's yield their sons.

PRAISE.

C. M.

1. COME, let us join our cheerful songs,
   With angels round the throne;
   Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
   But all their joys are one.

2. Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
   To be exalted thus;
   Worthy the Lamb, our lips reply,
   For he was slain for us.

3. Jesus is worthy to receive
   Honor and power divine;
   And blessings, more than we can give,
   Be, Lord, for ever thine.

4. Let all who dwell above the sky,
   And air, and earth, and seas,
   Conspire to lift thy glories high,
   And speak thine endless praise.

5. The whole creation join in one,
   To praise the sacred name

Of him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

ZION.

P. M.

1. GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose word cannot be broken,
Chose thee for his own abode:

2. On the Rock of Enoch founded;
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's wall surrounded,
Thou mayst smile on all thy foes.

3. See the stream of living waters,
Springing from celestial love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of drouth remove:

4. Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t'assuage?
Grace which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

12

3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear !

For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near :

6 Thus deriving from their banner,
Light by night and shade by day ;

Sweetly they enjoy the Spirit,
Which he gives them when they pray.

7 Bless'd inhabitants of Zion,
Purchas'd with the Savior's blood !

Jesus whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests of God.

9 While in love his people raises,
With himself to reign as kings ;

All, as priests, his solemn praises,
Each for a thank-offering brings.

9. Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am;

Though the world despise and pity,
I will glory in thy name..

13

10 Fading are all worldly treasures,
With their boasted pomp and show!
Heav'nly joys and lasting pleasures
None but Zion's children know.

SPIRIT OF GOD.

P. M.

1 THE Spirit of God like a fire is burning;
The latter day glory begins to come
forth; [turning;
The visions and blessings of old are re-
The angels are coming to visit the earth.
We'll sing and we'll shout with the ar-
mies of heaven: [Lamb!
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the
Let glory to them in the highest be given,
Henceforth and forever: amen and amen.

2 The Lord is extending the saints' un-
derstanding— [first;
Restoring their judges and all as at
The knowledge and power of God are ex-
panding, [burst.
The vail o'er the earth is beginning to
We'll sing and we'll shout, &c.

133

Our hearts the mournful tribute pay,
And bow at God's command.

2 While love still prompts the rising sigh,
With awful pow'r impress'd,
Let this dread truth, " I too may die!"
Sink deep in every breast!

3 May this vain world o'ercome no more,
Behold the opening tomb!
It bids us use the present hour!
To-morrow death may come.

4 The voice of this instructive scene
Let every heart obey!
Nor be the faithful warning vain
Which calls to watch and pray.

FUNERAL.

C. M.

1 LIFE is a span—a fleeting hour—
How soon the vapor flies!
Man is a tender transient flower,
That e'en while blooming—dies.

134

2 That once lov'd form, now cold and dead,
Each mournful thought employs;
And nature weeps, her comforts fled,
And wither'd all her joys.

3 Hope looks beyond the bounds of time,
When what we now deplore
Shall rise in full, immortal prime,
And bloom to fade no more.

4 Cease, then, fond nature, cease thy tears—
Thy Savior dwells on high;
There everlasting spring appears—
There joys shall never die.

XCV

SACRAMENT.

L. M.

1 Now let our mournful songs record
The sorrows of our dying Lord,
When he complain'd in tears and blood,
As one forsaken of his God.

2 The Jews beheld him, thus forlorn,
And shook their heads, and laugh'd in scorn:

135

“He rescu'd others from the grave,
Now let him try himself to save.

3 This is the man did once pretend
God was his Father and his friend,
If God the blessed lov'd him so,
Why does he fail to help him now ?”

4 O savage people ! cruel priests !
How they stood round like raging beasts
Like lions gaping to devour,
When God had left him in their pow'r !

5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet,
Till streams of blood each other meet :
By lot his garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which he died.

6 But God, his Father, heard his cry ;
Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high ;
The nations learn his righteousness,
And humble sinners taste his grace.

TRIUMPH OF TRUTH.

L. M.

1 THE morning breaks, the shadows flee,
Lo! Zion's standard is unfurl'd!
The dawning of a brighter day
Majestic rises on the world.

2 The clouds of error disappear
Before the rays of truth divine—
The glory bursting from afar,
Wide o'er the nations soon will shine.

3 The Gentile fulness now comes in,
And Israel's blessings are at hand:
Lo! Judah's remnant cleans'd from sin,
Shall in their promis'd Canaan stand.

4 Angels from heav'n and truth from earth
Have met, and both have record borne:
Thus Zion's light is bursting forth,
To bring her ransom'd children home.

XCVII

MORNING.

C. M.

1 LORD in the morning thou shall hear
My voice ascending high:

137

'To thee will I direct my pray'r,
To thee lift up mine eye :--

2 Up to the heav'ns where Christ has
To plead for all his saints, [gone,
Presenting at the Father's throne,
Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God, before whose sight,
The wicked shall not stand;
The righteous shall be thy delight
And dwell at thy right hand.

4 O may thy Spirit guide my feet,
In ways of righteousness!
Make ev'ry path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.

5 O do thou give my daily bread,—
And be my sins forgiven;
And let me in thy temple tread,
And learn from thee of heav'n.

TRIUMPH IN ZION.

7S.

1 WHO are those array'd in white,
Brighter than the noon-day sun?
Foremost of the sons of light;
Nearest the eternal throne?

2 These are they who bore the cross,
Nobly for their master stood;
Suff'ers in his righteous cause,
Follow'rs of the dying God.

3 Out of great distress they came,
Wash'd their robes by faith below,
In the blood of yonder Lamb,
Blood that washes white as snow:

4 Therefore are they next the throne,
Serve their maker day and night:
God resides among his own,
God doth in his saints delight.

5 More than conquerors at last,
Here they find their trials o'er;

139

They have all their suff'ring's past,
Hunger now and thirst no more :

6 No excessive heat they feel
From the sun's director ray;
In a milder clime they dwell,
Region of eternal day.

7 He who on the throne doth reign,
Them the Lamb shall always feed,
With the tree of life sustain,
To the living fountains lead :

8 He shall all their sorrows chase,
All their wants at once remove,
Wipe the tears from every face,
Fill up every soul with love.

XCIX

RESURRECTION.

C. M.

1 How long shall death, the tyrant reign,
And triumph o'er the just;
While the rich blood of martyrs slain
Lies mingled with the dust?

140

2 Lo, I behold the scattered shades;
The dawn of heaven appears;
The sweet immortal morning spreads
Its blushes round the spheres.

3 I see the Lord of glory come,
And flaming guards around;
The skies divide, to make him room,
The trumpet shakes the ground.

4 I hear the voice, “ye dead arise!”
And lo, the graves obey;
And waking saints, with joyful eyes,
Salute th’ expected day.

5 They leave the dust, and on the wing
Rise to the midway air,
In shining garments meet their King,
And low adore him there.

6 O, may our humble spirits stand
Among them clothed in white!
The meanest place at his right hand
Is infinite delight.

141

POWER OF GOD.

C. M.

1. REJOICE, ye righteous, in the Lord;
   This work belongs to you :
   Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
   How holy, just, and true !

2. His mercy and his righteousness
Let heav'n and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wond'rous name.

3 His wisdom and almighty word
   The heav'nly arches spread;
   And by the Spirit of the Lord
   Their shining hosts were made.

4 He bids the liquid waters flow
To their appointed deep;
The flowing seas their limits know,
And their own station keep.

5 Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand ;

142

He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.

6 He scorns the angry nations' rage,
And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands thro' ev'ry age,
And in full glory shines.

CI

REDEMPTION.

C. M.

1 How will the saints rejoice to tell,
And count their suff'rings o'er,
When they upon Mount Zion dwell,
And view the landscape o'er.

2 There they will see upon that land,
Fair Zion from above,
And meet with Enoch's holy band,
And sing redeeming love.

3 There no more sickness pain or woe,
Shall mar their peaceful rest,
For God shall wipe away their tears,
And comfort the opprest.

143

4 O may I see that glorious day !
And join with all the blest,
To sing aloud the Savior's praise,
And enter into rest.

CII

GATHERING OF ISRAEL.

L. M.

1 BEFORE this earth from chaos sprung,
Or morning stars together sung,
Jehovah saw what would take place
In all the vast extent of space.

2 He spoke; this world to order came,
And man he made lord of the same;
Great things to them he did make known,
Which should take place in days to come.

3 But we will pass those ancients by,
Who spoke and wrote by prophecy,
Until we come to him of old,
E'en Joseph whom his brethren sold.

4 He said God would raise up a seer,
The hearts of Jacob's sons to cheer,

144

And gather them again in bands,
In latter days upon their lands.

5 This seer, like Moses, should obtain,
The word of God for man again;
A spokesman God would him prepare,
His word when written to declare.

6 According to his holy plan,
The Lord has now rais'd up the man,
His latter day work to begin,
'To gather scatter'd Israel in.

7 Now let the saints both far and near,
And scatter'd Israel, when they hear
'This news, rejoice in Israel's God,
And sing, and praise his name aloud.

CIII

SALAATION.

C. M.

1 AWAKE, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sov'reign love
That shows salvation nigh.

145

2 On all the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year!

3 Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.

CIV

PRAISE.

76,

1 PRAISE to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;
Bount'ous source of ev'ry joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ:

2 For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield,
For the vine's exalted juice,
For the gen'rous olive's use :

3 Flocks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripen'd grain,

146

Clouds that drop their fat'ning dews,
Suns that temp'rate warmth diffuse :

4 All that spring with bount'ous hand
Scatters o'er the smiling land;
All that lib'ral autumn pours
From her rich o'erflowing stores :

5 Thanks to thee our God we owe;
Source from whence all blessings flow;
And for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

CV

EVENING PRAISE.

C. M.

1 O LORD another day is flown,
And we, a lonely band,
Are met once more, before thy throne,
To bless thy fostering hand.

2 And wilt thou lend a list'ning ear
To praises low as ours ?
Thou wilt ! for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.

147

3 And Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt deign,
As we before thee pray;
For thou didst bless the infant train,
And we are less than they.

4 O let thy grace perform its part,
And let contention cease;
And shed abroad in every heart
Thine everlasting peace.

5 Thus, thou wilt turn our wandering feet,
And thou wilt bless our way;
Till worlds shall fade and faith shall
greet
The dawn of lasting day.

CVI

PRAISE.

C. M.

1. GREAT is the Lord: 'tis good to praise
   His high and holy name:
   Well may the saints in latter days
   His wondrous love proclaim.

2 To praise him let us all engage,
That unto us is giv'n,

148

To live in this momentous age,
And share the light of heav'n.

3 We'll praise him for our happy lot,
On this much favor'd land;
Where truth and right'ousness are taught,
By his divine command.

4 We'll praise him for more glorious
things,
Than language can express,
The "everlasting gospel" brings,
The humble souls to bless.

5 The Comforter is sent again,
His pow'r the church attends;
And with the faithful will remain
Till Jesus Christ descends.

6 We'll praise him for a prophet's voice,
His people's steps to guide;
In this we do and will rejoice,
Tho' all the world deride.

149

7 Praise him, the time, the chosen time;
To favor Zion's come;
And all the saints, from ev'ry clime,
Will soon be gather'd home.

8 The op'ning seals announce the day,
By prophet's long declar'd;
When all in one triumphant lay,
Will join to praise the Lord.

### STICK OF JOSEPH.

C. M.

1 OUR fathers of the Gentile race
Travers'd the western main,
And found a wide extended land
Of valley, hill, and plain.

2 This land was peopled with a race
Which long had dwelt alone,
No record, nor tradition traced.
Their origin unknown.

3 The Lord in mercy has disclosed,
The truth so long concealed,

150

The record found beneath the ground
Has glorious things revealed.

4 This is the land which Moses blest,
To Joseph and his seed;
These are the everlasting hills,
'Twas for his bounds decreed.

5 Thus generations long have past
And age on ages roll'd,
The latter day approaching fast,
Its glories now unfold.

## CVIII

### DELIVERANCE.

L. M.

1 AWAKE, ye saints of God, awake,
Call on the Lord in mighty pray'r,
That he will Zion's bondage break,
And bring to nought the fowler's snare.

2 He will regard his people's cry—
The widow's tear—the orphan's moan;
The blood of those that slaughter'd lie,
Pleads not in vain before his throne.

151

3 Though Zion's foes have counsel'd deep,
Altho' they bind with fetters strong;
The God of Jacob does not sleep—
His vengeance will not slumber long.

4 Then let your souls be stay'd on God;
A glorious scene is drawing nigh:
Tho' tempests gather like a flood,
The storm, tho' fierce, will soon pass by.

5 Our God in judgment will come near,
His mighty arm he will make bare:
For Zion's sake he will appear,
Then, O ye saints, awake, prepare.

6 Awake to union and be one,
Or, saith the Lord, you are not mine;
Yea, like the Father and the Son,
Let all the saints in union join.

CIX

ZION TRIUMPHANT. L. M.

1 TRIUMPHANT Zion! lift thy head
From dust, and darkness, and the dead!

152

'Though humbled long—awake at length;
And gird thee with thy Savior's strength.

2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known :
Deck'd in thy robes of righteousness,
Thy glories shall the world confess.

3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallow'd halls with dread;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their vict'ry and thy sorrows boast.

4 God from on high, has heard thy pray'r;
His hand thy ruin shall repair;
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.

CX

PRAISE.

L. M.

1 PRAISE ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise
Your hearts and voices in his praise :
His nature and his works invite,
To make this duty our delight.

153

2 He form'd the stars, those heav'nly
flames;                      [names;
He counts their numbers, calls their
His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,
A deep where all our tho'ts are drown'd.

3 Sing to the Lord; exalt him high,
Who spreads his clouds along the sky :
There he prepares the fruitful rain,
Nor lets the drops descend in vain.

4 He makes the grass the hills adorn,
And clothes the smiling fields with corn :
The beasts with food his hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.

5 And saints are lovely in his sight,
He views his children with delight;
He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
And looks and loves his image there.

C XI GOSPEL DISPENSATION. C. M.

1 REJOICE! ye Saints of latter Days,
Lift up your heads and sing;

154

With one accord unite to praise,
Your everlasting King.

2 No more in darkness need you walk,
Or tread in error's night,
For the Most High again has spoke
The darkness into light.

3 The holy Spirit is sent down,
Like as in days of old,
To bring to mind things that are past,
And things to come unfold.

4 O may it rest upon us now
While we're assembled here,
Bring consolation to our souls,
Our drooping spirits cheer.

Find salvation in thee forever, amen.

## CXIII THE PRIESTHOOD. 8s. 7s. & 4s.

1. MEN of God, go, take your stations;
Darkness reigns throughout the earth;
Go proclaim among the nations,
Joyful news of heavenly birth;
Bear the tidings
Of the Savior's matchless worth.

2. What though earth and hell, united,
Should oppose the Savior's plan?
Plead his cause, nor be affrighted :
Fear ye not the face of man:

158

Vain their tumult,
Stop his work they never can.

3 When exposed to fearful dangers,
Jesus will his own defend :
Borne afar midst foes and strangers,
Jesus will appear your friend :
And his presence
Shall be with you to the end.

## RESURRECTION.

L. M.

1 HAIL to the Prince of life and peace,
Who holds the keys of death and hell!
The spacious world unseen in his,
The sov'reign pow'r becomes him well.

2 In shame and torment once he died :
But now he lives forevermore :
Bow down, you saints, around his seat,
And all you angel bands adore.

3 Live, live forever, glorious Lord,
To crush thy foes and guard thy friends,

159

While all thy chosen tribes rejoice,
That thy dominion never ends.

4 Worthy thy hand to hold the keys,
Guided by wisdom and by love;
Worthy to rule our mortal lives,
O'er worlds below and worlds above.

5 When death thy servants shall invade,
When powers of hell thy church annoy;
Controll'd by thee, their rage shall help
The cause they labor to destroy.

6 Forever reign, victorious King!
Wide through the earth thy name be
known,
And call our longing souls to sing
Sublimer anthems near thy throne.

CXV

MESSENGERS.

8s. & 7s.

1 Go, ye messengers of heaven,
Chosen by divine command ;

160

Go and publish free salvation,
To a dark benighted land,

2 Go to island, sea, and mountain,
To fulfill the great command;
Gather out the sons of Jacob,
To possess the promis'd land.

3 When your thousands all are gather'd
And their pray'rs for you ascend,
And the Lord has crown'd with blessings
All the labors of your hand,

4 Then the song of joy and transport,
Will from every land resound,
Then the heathen, long in darkness,
By their Savior will be crown'd.

## CXVI

LATTER DAYS.

L. M.

1 My soul, with sacred joy survey
The glories of the latter day;
Its dawn already seems begun;
Sure earnest of the rising sun.

161

2 The friends of truth assembled stand,
A chosen, consecrated band,
The standard of the cross display,
And cry aloud, “Behold the way.”

3 “Behold the way to Zion’s hill,
Where Israel’s God delights to dwell,
He fixes there his lofty throne,
And calls the sacred place his own.

4 “Behold the way,” Ye heralds cry;
Spare not, but lift your voices high;
Convey the sound from shore to shore;
And bid the captive sigh no more.

5 Swift on the wings of heavenly zeal
They fly, nor seem the toil to feel;
But faithful to their Master’s will,
The sacred embassy fulfill.

6 The north gives up, the south no more
Keeps back her consecrated store;
From east to west the message runs,
And either India yields her sons.

163

Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love
Is join'd with holy fear.

5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise,
And spread thy fame abroad;
Let all the sons of Adam raise
The honors of their God.

## CXVIII

### GOSPEL.

### 8s. & 7s.

1 ZION's king shall reign victorious—

All the earth shall own his sway:

He will make his kingdom glorious:

He will reign through endless day!

What, though none on earth assist him?

God requires not help from man!

What, though all the world resist him!

God will realize his plan.

2 Nations now from God estranged,

Then shall see a glorious light:

Night to day shall then be changed,—

Heaven shall triumph in the sight;

164

See the ancient idols falling!
Worship'd once, but now abhor'd;
Men on Zion's King are calling:
Zion's King by all ador'd!

3 Then shall Israel, long dispersed,
Mourning seek the Lord their God,
Look on him whom they once pierced,
Own and kiss the chast'ning rod.
Then all Israel shall be saved,
War and tumult then shall cease;
While the greater Son of David
Rules a conquer'd world in peace.

4 Mighty King, thine arm revealing,
Now thy glorious cause maintain,
Bring the nations help and healing,
Make them subject to thy reign!
Angels in their lofty station
Praise thy name, thou only wise;
O let earth, with emulation,
Join the triumph of the skies!

PRAISE TO GOD.

1. LET ev'ry creature join
   To praise th' eternal God :
   Ye heav'nly host, the song begin,
   And sound his name abroad.

2. 'Thou sun with golden beams,
   And moon with paler rays;
   Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
   Shine to your Maker's praise.

3. He built those worlds above,
   And fix'd their wond'rous frame!
   By his command they stand or move,
   And ever speak his name.

4. Ye vapors, when ye rise
   Or fall in show'rs or snow;
   Ye thunders, murm'ring round the skies
   His pow'r and glory show.

5. Winds, hail, and flashing fire,
   Agree to praise the Lord,

166

When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.

6 By all his works above
His honors be express'd;
But saints that taste his saving love
Should sing his praises best.

BAPTISM.

8s. & 7s.

1 JESUS, mighty King in Zion,
Thou alone our guide shall be;
Thy commission we rely on,
We will follow none but thee.

2 As an emblem of thy passion,
And thy vict'ry o'er the grave,
We, who know the great salvation,
Are baptiz'd beneath the wave.

3 Fearless of the world's despising,
We the ancient path pursue;
Buried with our Lord, and rising
To a life divinely new.
