Isaiah 11:13: Happy day of union sweet
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Happy day of union sweet,
O when shall it appear,
When shall all Thy people meet
In amity sincere,
Tear each other's flesh no more.
But kindly think and speak the same,
All express the meekening power.
The spirit of the Lamb?
Visit us, bright Morning-Star,
And bring the perfect day.
Urged by faith's incessant prayer
No longer, Lord, delay;
Now destroy the envious root,
The ground of mutual feuds remove,
Fill the earth with golden fruit.
With ripe, millennial love.
