4The name of Jehovah is worthy of praising,
And so is the Savior an excellent theme;
The elders of Israel a standard are raising,
And call on all nations to come to the same:
These elders go forth and the gospel are preaching,
And all that will hear them, they freely are teaching,
And thus is the vision of Daniel fulfilling:
The stone of the mountain will soon fill the earth.

HYMN 4. P. M.

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

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

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