Tell the heathen,

None but Christ can do them good.

2 While the gospel trump you're sounding
May the Spirit seal the word,
And thro' sov'reign grace abounding,
Heathen bow and own the Lord;
Idols leaving,

God alone shall be ador'd.

3 Distant tho' our souls are blending,
Still our hearts are warm and true;
In our pray'rs to heaven ascending,
Brethren we'll remember you;
Heav'n preserve you,

Safely all your journey through.

4 When your mission here is finish'd,
And your work on earth is done,
May your souls, by grace replenish'd
Find acceptance thro' the Son;
Thence admitted,

Dwell forever near his throne.

5 Loud hosannas now resounding, Make the heavenly arches rug, Grace to sinful men abounding,

Ransom'd millions sweetly sing;
While with rapture,
All adore their heav'nly King.

HYMN 29.-C. M.

Coronation of Christ.

LL hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him-Lord of all.

2 Crown him, ye morning stars of light, Who fix'd this floating ball;

Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown him-Lord of all.

3 Crown him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from his altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown him-Lord of all.

4 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
Ye ransom'd from the fall,

Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him-Lord of all.

5 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall:
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him-Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him-Lord of all.

HYMN 80-7 & 6.

The way to Heaven.

ALL'D to a sense of duty,
I would obey the call;
And for the sake of Jesus,
I freely give up al!,
My former vain enjoyments,
Of pleasure pride, and gain;
That I in Jesus's kingdom,
A mansion may obtain.

2 How often have I struggled
To ho.d some foolish sin;
Yet, to the heavenly kingdom
I meant to enter in;
But now I am persuaded
That nothing else will do

"

But Jesus for my portion,
And holy joys pursue.

Let all the world's gay beauty,
And Satan's flat'ring bait,
With all their pride and grandeur,
Around my soul await;
The far superior beauty
Through faith I see ahead;
And I am bent upon it
This holy way to tread.

Come, who will travel with me
The way that leads to heaven?
And follow none but Jesus

The way which he hath giv'n;
And take his word for counsel,
His spirit for a guide;
And make a fuil surrender
Of every thing beside.

4 Come on, my precious brethren,
And travel on with me;
We'll seek for heav'nly treasure
Until we find the sea

Of sweet unbounded riches,

Of life, and love and peace,

Where beauty never withers,

And glory ne'er shall cease.

6 What, though the world reproach us, And say we're mean and poor,

1

No matter what we suffer,

If we can reach the shore.
"Twill make the glory sweeter,
And raise the praises high'r;
And we shall be completer,
When purified by fire.

HYMN 31-73.

The resurrection and ascension.

NGELS! roll the rock away!

A Death! yield up the mighty prey.

See! he rises from the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Hallelujah! praise the Lord.

2 "Tis the Saviour! angels raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise!
Let the earth's remotest bound
Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
Hallelujah! praise the Lord.

8 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes!
