Hymn Context Compare
And thy cau­tion de­part,
start
For the morn­ing that shall bring,
Into Thy dear Name I flee;
Grant stead­fast eye and skill­ful hand.
Ring out the bless­èd news again!
With twain in rev­er­ent awe they hid their feet,
Ye who Mes­si­ah seek
start
And stain of pass­ion free,
This Church has lift­ed up her voice,
Its bless­èd rays may shine.
And spoiled our hell­ish foes.
Throned above ce­les­ti­al things,
Be rea­dy to throw down your pit­cher;
Swift as an ea­gle cuts the air,
So should they come, as a migh­ty throng
And swell with life the food­ful grain.
Foes in vain com­bine;
In that good and great glad day!

Aloft

And be fearl­ess of heart.
Hold it high and strong;
In a cloud of glo­ry seat­ed,
For Thy Name is victory!
Uphold them with Thy sav­ing grace.
The migh­ty Lord is ris’n in pow­er,
One to the oth­er called and praised the Lord:
And see yon ho­ly mount be­speak
Hold it high and strong;
To hold my course to Thee!
And found con­tent­ment in her choice,
Let its light and its glo­ry shine,
And to His Fa­ther flies,
Lord of lords and King of kings;
And blow such a blast on your trum­pet
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Faint, yet pur­su­ing, till ev­en­tide,
Nor fair pros­per­ity His days
Let it bear the sign.
When that bless­èd day shall dawn,
