 388 THE CHURCH F. W. Mills Rise,crowned with light,impe-ri-al Salem, rise Ex-alt thy towering head and lift thine eyes : 4- ^ ^ -I — h— frjjt ri h M ^mH ^ n&m m f heaven its sparkling portalswide display, And break up I on thee in 796 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise ; Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes: See heaven its sparkling portals wide dis- play, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn, See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed His word, His saving power remains ; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Samuel Wolcott 18/59
