2 E'en now, the hallow'd scenes appear; F'en now, unfolds the promis'd year: Lo! distant shores thy heralds trace, And swell the tidings of thy grace. 3 'Mid burning climes and frozen plains, Where pagan darkness brooding reigns, Oh! mark their steps, their fears subdue, And nerve their arm, and clear their view. 4 When, worn by toil, their spirits fail, 5 So, o'er the Indian's gloomy night, འ་་་་་་་་་་ HYMN XXXV. P. M. 1 FROM Greenland's icy mountains, Their land from error's chain. 2 Shall we, whose souls are lighted The joyful sound proclain, 3 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, It spreads from pole to pole; Conversion of the Jews.
