Light adorned and Light adoring,

Bask, and burn and die.

THE AMERICAN CONSUMMATION.

The day of War is over

When, to please a Prince alone,

A thousand slaughtered wretches

Were to the eagles thrown.

There is gloom upon its glory,

There is rust upon its sword,

For the day of Peace is dawning

In the coming of the Lord.

Arise in Christian manhood

And join the joyous throng,

With Jesus in your music

And His mercy in your song;

For His blood hath been the ransom

For the World, for you, for me,

And His love o'erflows the mountains

In an everlasting sea.

For the Christ who rose in glory
