3. Evry island, sea, and mountain,

Heav'n and earth, shall flee away:
All who hate Him, must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;

1. LORD, shall Thy children come to Thee,

A boon of love divine to seek ? Brought to Thine arms in infancy,

Ere heart could feel or tongue could speak, Thy children pray for grace, that they

May come themselves to Thee to-day. 2. Lord, shall we come? and come again ?

Oft as we see yon table spread, And-tokens of Thy dying pain

The wine poured out, the broken bread. Bless, bless, O Lord, Thy children's prayer,

That they may come and find Thee there. 3. Lord, shall we come ? not thus alone

At holy time, or solemn rite? But every hour till life be flown;

Through weal or woe, in gloom or lightCome to Thy throne of grace, that we

In faith and love confirmed may be. 4. Lord, shall we come? come yet again?

Thy children ask one blessing more; To come, not now alone, but then,

When life and death and time are o'er ; Then, then to come, O Lord, and be Confirmed in heaven-confirmed by Thee.

RUGBY HYMN BOOR.
