REFLECTIONS

BLESSED Lord! we thank thee, that amidst all our unworthiness and departures, like Israel, thou hast not withdrawn our sabbaths, nor made the sun to go down upon our Prophets. Still there is in our midst, the blessed word of thy Gospel, the means of grace, and the cry proclaimed every returning Lord's day; he that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches! And though in the present hour Zion is plowed as a field, and the mountain of the Lord's house lieth low; yet thou hast said that thou wilt visit thy people in the latter day, and gather them together as the sheep of Bozrah. Do, Lord, as thou hast said: and hasten the auspicious hour, when a little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation; for thou hast said, I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
