HYMN 90.

O Saviour is Thy promise fled,
No longer might Thy grace endure
To heal the sick, and raise the dead,
And preach Thy gospel to the poor.

Come, Jesus, come! return again;
With brighter beam Thy servants bless,
Who long to feel Thy perfect reign,
And share Thy kingdom's happiness.

Come, Jesus, come; and as of yore,
The Prophet went to clear Thy way,
A harbinger Thy feet before,
A dawning to Thy brighter day.

So now may grace, with heav'nly show'r
Our stony hearts for truth prepare;
Sow in our souls the seed of pow'r,
Then come and reap Thy harvest there.
