CANT. VII. 5.
—Thy king is held in the galleries.

HYMN 120.

AWake, O Sion: rise and shine, Put thy best Garment on: Tho all the World 'gainst thee combine, Thy King comes marching on. Lift up thine Eyes, behold those Clouds, Those lofty Galleries: There he Erects his Throne, and makes His Glory fill the Skies. There shalt thou look on him, whose heart Was pierced by thy sin, And thou shalt mourn to see those wounds, And yet rejoyce therein. There never was so great a day; Sion thy King doth come, And in these Galleries makes a stay, Till thy great Work be done. O rend the Heavens, Lord, and come Thou down for Sions cause: Deliver thine from Sin and Rome, And all her Popish Laws: And make thy People once agen, The great Hosannah sing,

And Spirit every sort of men, To Worship Sions King.
Another to the Tune of Psal. 148.
O Sion! rise and shine, Put thy best Garments on, Tho all the World combine; Thy King comes marching on: Behold those Clouds, His Person lies In Galleries, And there he shrouds. Now shalt thou on him look, Was peirced by thy Sin, When thee he once forsook, Cause thou forsookest him: Now shalt thou mourn, And yet rejoice, With Heart and Voice, Thy God is come. There never was a day, So welcome to the Saints, As when he comes away, To make up all their wants. O rend the Skies: O come away,

Make no delay, Poor Sion cries. Hosanna then we'l sing, And Hallelujah too▪ We'l Worshiship Sions King, We'l praise him all anew. In Heaven! so Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, In Earth below.
