      "Thou hast given a banner to them that feared thee,

      that it may be displayed because of the truth."

      Psalm 60,—4.

      PHILADELPHIA:

      JOSEPH KITE & CO., PRINTERS,

      No. 50 North Fourth Street.

      1846.

      THE

      ANCIENT BANNER.

      In boundless mercy, the Redeemer left,

      The bosom of his Father, and assumed

      A servant's form, though he had reigned a king,

      In realms of glory, ere the worlds were made,

      Or the creating words, Let there be light

      In heaven were uttered. But though veiled in flesh,

      His Deity and his Omnipotence,

      Were manifest in miracles. Disease

      Fled at his bidding, and the buried dead

      Rose from the sepulchre, reanimate,

      At his command, or, on the passing bier

      Of types and shadows of the Jewish code.

      Upon the mount, and round Jerusalem,

      He taught a purer, and a holier law,—

      His everlasting Gospel, which is yet

      To fill the earth with gladness; for all climes

      Shall feel its influence, and shall own its power.

      He came to suffer, as a sacrifice

      Acceptable to God. The sins of all

      Were laid upon Him, when in agony

      He bowed upon the cross. The temple's veil

      Was rent asunder, and the mighty rocks,

      Trembled, as the incarnate Deity,

      By his atoning blood, opened that door,

      Through which the soul,
