" The Spirit of God" shall descend below

Prophecy's valley His power shall know. (Ezek. 37)

Abraham's seed shall arise and sing

Myriads blessing their Priest and King:

But while that seed in their graves still lie (Ez. 37:10-14.)

The children of grace in their stead now cry. (Rom. 11).

Write, Lord on our hearts thy name so fair,

" Jehovah-Shammah"—The Lord is there. (Ezek. 48:35³⁵It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. (Ezekiel 48:35)).

"The Spirit of Jesus " ascended on high,

Breathes on the vale where the dead now lie. (Ex. 37.)

Under His breathing the heralds of peace (Acts 2)

In faith, love, hope, and labors increase. (Acts 4)

Hirelings' before the great Shepherd now lie, (Acts 6:7⁷And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. (Acts 6:7).)

While their inward emotion finds vent in the cry —(Acts 9:6⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. (Acts 9:6).)

Write, Lord, on our hearts Thy name so fair—

"Jehovah-Shammah"—the Lord is there.

"The Spirit of Jesus " ascended on high,

Breathes on the vale where the dead now lie.

The fountains of life in the saints now spring, (John 4:14¹⁴But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14).)

" Filled-full " in Christ the heart shall sing. (Col. 2:10¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: (Colossians 2:10).)

Formal professors are found on their knees The contrite prayer supplanting their " ease"—(Amos 6:1¹Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! (Amos 6:1).)

Write, Lord, on our hearts Thy name so fair—

"Jehovah-Shammah"—the Lord is there.

" The Spirit of Jesus" ascended on high,

Breathes on the vale where the dead now lie.

Now shall the worldling awakened be, (Acts 16:29,30²⁹Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, ³⁰And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:29‑30)).

The dead shall live, and the blind shall see. (Eph. 2:1-10¹And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; ²Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: ³Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. ⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) ⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast. ¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:1‑10)).

The careless and godless, the vile and profane (1 Cor. 6:11¹¹And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)).

Shall cry as they gaze on the Lamb once slain—(1 John 1.; Rev. 5)

Write, Lord, on our hearts Thy name so fair—

"Jehovah-Shammah"—The Lord is there.

" The Spirit of Jesus" ascended on high,

Breathes on the vale where the dead now lie.

Now a reviving of grace is begun, (Acts 2).

And glory is given to God's dear Son: (Phil. 1:20²⁰According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. (Philippians 1:20).)

The fathers, the youths, and the children share (Jo. 2.)

And lift up to heaven the heart-felt Prayer—(Acts 5:14¹⁴And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) (Acts 5:14).)

Write, Lord, on our hearts Thy name so fair—

"Jehovah-Shammah”—Lord is there.

"The Spirit of Jesus," ascended on high, Breathes on the vale where the dead now lie

Fresh in the air of a heavenly Spring, (Sol. 2:11-13¹¹For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; ¹²The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; ¹³The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. (Song of Solomon 2:11‑13).)

The heart must love, and the tongue must sing. (Eph. 5:18, 19¹⁸And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (Ephesians 5:18‑19).)

Dwelling in love and dwelling in God, (1 John 4:15, 16¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. ¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:15‑16).)

The Bride's heart leaps on the heavenward road (Rev. 22:17¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)).

To hail her Bridegroom of form most fair (Psa. 45:2²Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. (Psalm 45:2))

And prove in the Glory—" The Lord is there." (Rev. 21:22, 23²²And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. ²³And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Revelation 21:22‑23).)
