CANT. VI. 13.
Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee: what will ye see in the Shulamite? as it were the company of two armies.

HYMN 112.

REturn, return, O Shulamite; Return, return to me: Thy God would bring thee back again; Messiah waits for thee. 'Twill be the Nations wonder, when The Pow'r of this Command Shall knit thy Sinews, giving Life And Vigor to thy hand. This voice, Return, shall rouse thee up From dead sleep thou art under, And Spirit thy benummed Limbs: 'Tis like the voice of thunder. Wake, Judah, gird thy Harness on: Wake to the Battel now: Wake Israel, joyn thy forces with Thy sister Judahs bow. Two Armies, like two floods shall twist Their streams of fire together,

And drink the sinful Nations up, And make their Glory wither. Proud Babel now shall tumble down, And all her Kings shall fall: Now Antichrist hath run her race: Shall be no more at all.
Another to the Tune of Psal. 124.
REturn, return, O Shulamite, return, Return thou Daugh∣ter of fair Sion hill: O, how I long! My Soul is fainting till Thy God shall bring Thee back, and make thee burn With love to thy Messiah dear, and mourn. Return, return, And make the Nations wonder: Now shalt thou feel The Pow'r of this command: I'le give it force, Thou shalt it not withstand: I'le spirit that word With life, and make it thunder, And wake thee from That dead sleep thou art under.

Wake Judah, wake, And girt thy Harness on: Wake Isra'l, wake, VVake to the Battel now: I'le give the VVorld To thee, thy armies too, Shall drink the sin∣ful Nations up, and come And build their Trophies Sions mount upon. Now is the time, Ten shall a thousand chace: Proud Babel now Shall tumble down before ye▪ I'le make her stoop, And all her Kings adore ye. Now Antichrist, Thou'st run thy cursed race: Now Israel, Strike home, and take their place.
