Proud Babylon yet waits her doom
Proud Babylon yet waits her doom
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #537 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Proud Babylon yet waits her doom;
Nor can her tott'ring palace fall,
Till some blest messenger arise,
The ransom'd heathen world to call.
2 Now see the glorious time approach!
Behold the mighty angel fly,
The gospel tidings to convey
To ev'ry land beneath the sky!
3 See the kind native of Pelew
With rapture greet the sacred sound;
And, for a Saviour's precious name,
Throw his mean idols to the ground.
4 O see, on Otaheite's isle,
And Africa's unhappy shore,
The unlearn'd savage press to hear;
And hearing, wonder and adore.
5 See, while the joyful truth is told,
That Jesus left his throne in heaven,
And suffered, died, and rose again,
That all his sins might be forgiv'n:
6 See what delight, unfelt before,
Beams in his fix'd, attentive eye;
And hear him ask--"For wretched me,
Did this divine Redeemer die?"
7 "Ah! why have ye so long forborne
To tell such welcome news at this?
Go now, let ev'ry sinner hear,
And share in such exalted bliss!"
8 Now, Babylon, thy hour is come,
Thy curse'd foundation shall give way;
And thine eternal overthrow
The triumphs of the cross display! Topics: Fall of Babylon predicted; Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Scripture: Revelation 14:6

Proud Babylon Yet Waits Her Doom
Author: Mrs. Vokes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7852 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Proud Babylon yet waits her doom;
Nor can her tottering palace fall,
Till some blest messenger arise
The spacious heathen world to call.
2 And see the glorious time approach!
Behold the mighty angel fly,
The Gospel tidings to convey
To every land beneath the sky!
3 O see, on both the Indias coast,
And Africa’s unhappy shore,
The unlearned savages press to hear;
And hearing, wonder and adore.
4 See, while the joyful truth is told,
That Jesus left His throne in Heaven,
And suffered, died and rose again,
That guilty souls might be forgiven.
5 See what delight, unfelt before,
Beams in his fixed attentive eye;
And hear him ask, For wretched me,
Did this divine Redeemer die?
6 Ah! why have ye so long forborne
To tell such welcome news as this?
Go now, let every sinner hear,
And share in such exalted bliss.
7 The islands, waiting for His law,
With rapture greet the sacred sound;
And, taught the Saviour’s precious name,
Cast all their idols to the ground.
8 Now, Babylon, thy hour is come,
Thy cursed foundation shall give way,
And thine eternal overthrow
The triumphs of the cross display. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
