1 PRAISE the Lord, his glories show,
Saints within his courts below,
Angels round his throne above,
All that see and share his love!

2 Earth to heaven, and heaven to earth,
Tell his wonders, sing his worth;
Age to age, and shore to shore,
Praise him, praise him, evermore!
3 Praise the Lord, his mercies trace;
Praise his providence and grace-
All that he for man hath done,
All he sends us through his Son.
4 Strings and voices, hands and hearts,

In the concert bear your parts:
All that breathe, your Lord adore;
Praise him, praise him, evermore!

2 Christian! dry your flowing tears;
Chase those unbelieving fears:
Look on his deserted grave;
Doubt no more his power to save.

3 Ye, who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scattered shade;
Drive your anxious cares away:
See the place where Jesus lay!

4 Lo! the rising sun appears,
Shedding radiance o'er the spheres ;
Lo! returning beams of light
Chase the terrors of the night.

380. A victorious Saviour.-Rev. 1: 18.

1 CROWNS of glory ever bright

Rest upon the Conqueror's head; Crowns of glory are his right,

His, "who liveth and was dead." 2 He subdued the powers of hell; In the fight he stood alone: All his foes before him fell, By his single arm o'erthrown. 3 His the battle, his the toil; His the honors of the day; His the glory and the spoil:

Jesus bears them all away.

4 Now proclaim his deeds afar;
Fill the world with his renown:
His alone the victor's car;
His the everlasting crown!

6 Scenes will vary, friends grow strange,
But the Changeless can not change:
Gladly will I journey on,
With his arm to lean upon.

"The King of kings, and Lord of lords."

1 WAKE the song of jubilee! Let it echo o'er the sea: Now is come the promised hour; Jesus reigns with sovereign power. 2 All ye nations! join and sing, "Christ, of lords and kings, is King!" Let it sound from shore to shore, "Jesus reigns for evermore!" 3 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Joy! the whole creation sings, "Jesus is the King of kings!"

1 PRAISE on thee, in Zion's gates, Daily, O Jehovah, waits; Unto thee, O God, belong Grateful words and holy song. 2 Thou the hope and refuge art Of remotest lands apart; Distant isles and tribes unknown, 'Mid the ocean waste and lone. 3 Thou dost visit earth, and rain Blessings on the thirsty plain, From the copious founts on high, From the rivers of the sky.

4 Thus the clouds thy power confess, And thy paths drop fruitfulness, And the voice of song and mirth Rises from the tribes of earth!

"Who is God, save the Lord ?"
Psalm 18.

1 JUST are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode;
Who is a God, beside the Lord?
Or where's a refuge like our God?
2 'Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield;
And while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
3 He lives, and blesséd be my Rock;
The God of my salvation lives;
The dark designs of hell he broke :
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
348.
"I would for ever speak His name."
1 Он, the sweet wonders of that cross
Where my Redeemer loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
From his dear wounds and bleeding side.
2 I would for ever speak his name,

In sounds to mortal ears unknown;
With angels join to praise the Lamb,
And worship at his Father's throne.
453. Prayer for the Teaching of the Spirit.
1 COME, blesséd Spirit! Source of light,
Whose power and grace are unconfined,
Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
The thicker darkness of the mind.
2 To mine illumined eyes display
The glorious truths thy word reveals;
Cause me to run the heavenly way;
The book unfold, and loose the seals.

3 Thine inward teachings make me know
The mysteries of redeeming love,
The vanity of things below,
And excellence of things above.

4 While through this dubious maze I stray,
Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad;
Oh, show the dangers of the way,
And guide my feeble steps to God.

582. Longing for Freedom from Sin.

1 JESUS demands this heart of mine,
Demands my love, my joy, my care;
But ah! how dead to things divine,
How cold my best affections are!
2 'Tis sin, alas! with dreadful power,
Divides my Saviour from my sight;
Oh, for one happy, cloudless hour
Of sacred freedom, sweet delight!

3 Lord! let thy love shine forth and raise
My captive powers from sin and death,
And fill my heart with life and praise,
And tune my last expiring breath.

1 THE holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father's bosom came,
Who died for me, e'en me t' atone,-
Now for my Lord and God I own.

2 Lord, I believe, thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy-seat of God
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, in all my sins, was shed.
3 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.

4 Thus Abraham, the friend of God,
Thus all heaven's armies, bought with

blood,

Saviour of sinners thee proclaim,

Sinners, the chief of whom I am.

828. "G

Give me Thyself,-I ask no more."

1 My dearest Lord, whose changeless love
To me, nor earth nor hell can part;
When shall my feet forget to rove?
Ah! what shall fix this faithless heart?
2 Why do these cares my soul divide,
If thou indeed hast set me free?
Why am I thus, if thou hast died,
If thou hast died to ransom me?
3 Great God! thy sovereign aid impart,
And guard the gifts thyself hast given;
My portion thou, my treasure art,
And life, and happiness, and heaven.

4 Would aught with thee my wishes share,
Though dear as life the idol be,
That idol from my breast I'll tear,
Resolved to seek my all from thee.
5 Whate'er I fondly counted mine,
To thee, my Lord, I here restore;
I gladly all for thee resign:
Give me thyself,-I ask no more.

3 Let thronging multitudes around
Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
And light thro' distant realms be spread,
Till Zion rears her drooping head.

1 WE bid thee welcome in the name Of Jesus, our exalted Head; Come as a servant: so he came; And we receive thee in his stead. 2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep This fold from hell, and earth, and sin; Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep, The wounded heal, the lost bring in. 3 Come as a teacher, sent from God, Charged his whole counsel to declare; Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod, While we uphold thy hands with prayer. 4 Come as a messenger of peace, Filled with the spirit, fired with love! Live to behold our large increase, And die to meet us all above.

1068. Entering into Covenant with God.

1 WHILE to thy table I repair,

And seal the sacred contract there,
Witness, O Lord! my solemn vow:
Angels and men! attest it, too.

2 Here at that cross, where flows the blood
That bought my guilty soul for God,
Thee, Lord and Master, now I call,
I consecrate to thee my all.

3 Do thou assist a feeble worm
The great engagement to perform;
Thy grace can full assistance lend,
And on that grace I dare depend.

1 YE wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast!

Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.

2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room-

3 Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart:
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.

4 Oh, come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love;
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.

5 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th' eternal throne,

Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice
In ecstasies unknown.

6 And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come:
Ye longing souls, the grace adore;
Approach, there yet is room.

The living water! thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream:
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light:
Look unto me; thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till all my journey's done.

Mine-Thine.-1 Cor. 15: 10.

1 ALL that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own:
All that I am I owe to thee,
My gracious God, alone.

2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine:
The good in which I now rejoice
Is thine, and only thine.

3 The darkness of my former state,
The bondage,-all was mine:
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty-is thine.

4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
And taught me to believe :
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now, I live, I live!

5 All that I am ev'n here on earth,
All that I hope to be

When Jesus comes and glory dawns,I owe it, Lord, to thee.
