      Come , therefore , Thou who holdest the seven stars In Thy right hand , appoint Thy chosen priests , As order ed and appointed in old time , To minister to Thee , and duly ctress And pour the consecrated oil for aye Into thy holy , ever-burning lamps . Thou hast sent out the spirit of deep prayer Upon thy servants over all the earth To this great end , and stirred their hallo vv'd vows , Like sound of many waters , round Thy throne . Now may each say , Lord ! Thou hast visited ;

      This land—the utmost corners of the earth Hast not forgotten , tho' mankind had thought That Thou hadst left us for the verge of heaven , The extremest verge , and hadst abandoned all Thy marvellous works among the later sons Of this our age . But , Lord ! accomplish now , And perfect Thy all-glorious deeds . Men leave Their works unfinished ; but Thou art a God , Thy nature is perfection—seasons , times , Roll at Thy . feet , and at Thy bidding come , And at Thy bidding go . Our fathers * days With many revelations Thou , O Lord ,

      Didst dignify above the days of old 5 So now to us , unworthy , even to us , Thou canst vouchsafe a portion of Thyself And Thy own Spirit . Who shall prejudice Thy all-directing will ? Thy ppwer and grace

      Departed not with the primeval times , ( However fond and faithless men may deem , ) Thy kingdom is at hand , even now , and Thou Art standing at the door . Come forth , come forth , Out of Thy royal chambers , Prince of kings . Of all the kings of earth . Put on the robes , The visible robes of highest naajesty Imperial . Take Thy glorious sceptre now ; The earth is waiting , and creation sighs To be renewed .
