Let all that now unites us more sweet and lasting prove, a closer bond of union, in a blessed land of love. 3 O long-expected dawning, come with your cheering ray! Yet shall the promise beckon and lead us not astray. O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on to pray, and hope, and labor, till all our work is done. Used With Tune: WEBB

Forward, forward let us range. Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change; through the shadow of the globe we sweep ahead to heights sublime, we, the heirs of all the ages, in the foremost files of time. 2 Oh, we see the crescent promise of that spirit has not set; ancient founts of inspiration well through all our fancies yet; and we doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs, and the thoughts of all are widened with the process of the suns. 3 Yea, we dip into the future, far as human eye can see, see the vision of the world, and all the wonder that shall be, hear the war-drum throb no longer, see the battle flags all furled, in the parliament of freedom, federation of the world.

The kings of earth shall thank you, LORD, for they have heard your wondrous word; yes, they shall come with songs of praise for great and glorious are your ways, for great and glorious are your ways. 3 O LORD, enthroned in glory bright, you reign alone in heavenly height; the proud in vain your favor seek, but you have mercy for the meek. Through trouble though my pathway be, you will revive and strengthen me, you will revive and strengthen me. 4 You will stretch forth your mighty arm to save me when my foes alarm. The work you have for me begun shall by your grace be fully done. Your love forever will endure: your mercy, LORD, is ever sure; your mercy, LORD, is ever sure.
