2 The anointed Son shall still
As Monarch be enthroned,
With regal pomp on Zion's hill-
Zion long loved and owned.
3 All empires shall be claimed
As His from sea to sea;

5

For Him this beauteous world was framed,

And His the world shall be.

Those who resist His sway

His anger shall devour;

And broken like the potter's clay,
Shall be their pride and power.
Kings! rulers! men! be wise;
The day of grace is now;

Ere yet His kindling wrath arise,
Low at His footstool bow.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea.-Ps. 72, 8.

ESUS shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,

Till moons shall wax and wane no

more.

2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song: And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest;

And all the sons of want are blest.

5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no

more;

In Him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.

6 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

198 I have the keys of hell and of death.

--Rev. 1, 18.

HAIL to the Prince of life and peace,

Who holds the keys of death and
The spacious world unseen is His, [hell!
And sovereign power becomes Him well
2 In shame and sorrow once He died;
But now He lives for evermore:
Bow down, ye saints, around His seat,
And all ye angel-bands adore.

3' So live for ever, glorious Lord;
Subdue Thy foes and guard Thy friends;
While all Thy chosen tribes rejoice,
That Thy dominion never ends.

4 Worthy Thy hands to hold the keys,
Guided by wisdom, and by love;
Worthy to rule o'er mortal life,
O'er worlds below and worlds above.
5 For ever reign, victorious King!
Wide through the earth Thy name be
known:

And call my longing soul to sing
Sublimest anthems near Thy throne.

199 Rule Thou in the midst of Thine

2

enemies.-Ps. 110, 2.

ALL hail, Incarnate God!

The wondrous things foretold

Of Thee in sacred writ,

With joy our eyes behold;

Still does Thine arm new trophies wear,

And monuments of glory rear.

To Thee the hoary head,

Its silver honours pays;
To Thee the blooming youth
Devotes his brightest days:

And every age their tribute bring,
And bow to Thee, all conquering King.

3 0 haste, victorious Prince,
That happy, glorious day,
When souls, like drops of dew,
Shall own Thy gentle sway:
O may it bless our longing eyes,
And bear our shouts beyond the skies!
4 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Eternal be Thy reign:

Behold the nations sue

To wear Thy gentle chain;

[more,

When earth and time are known no Thy throne shall stand for ever sure.

C.M.

200 King of kings, and Lord of lords.

1

-Rev. 19, 16.

ALL 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 martyrs of our God,
Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown Him Lord of all.

3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small;
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all

Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.

5 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,

To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

60 that with yonder sacred throng,
We at His feet may fall,

Join in the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all! 7.6.

201 His name shall endure for ever.

Ps. 72, 17.

HAIL to the Lord's Anointed;
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!

He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

2 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth:

Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.

3 Arabia's desert ranger

To Him shall bow the knee:
The Ethiopian stranger

His glory come to see:

With offerings of devotion,

Ships from the isles shall meet,
To pour the wealth of ocean
In tribute at His feet.

4 Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing:
For He shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion,
Or dove's light wing can soar.
5 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,-
A kingdom without end.
The mountain dews shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,
And shake like Lebanon.

6 O'er every foe victorious,

He on His throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all blest.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever;

That name to us is-Love.

202 Neither shall they learn war any

1

more.-Isa. 2. 4.

THROUGH centuries of sin and woe

Hath streamed the crimson flood,
While man, in concert with the foe,
Hath shed his brother's blood:
Now lift Thy banner, Prince of Peace,
And let the cruel war-cry cease.
2 In vain, mid clamours loud and rude,
Thy servants seek repose,

See, day by day, the strife renewed,
And brethren turned to foes:

Then lift Thy banner, Prince of Peace,
Make wrongs among Thy subjects

cease.

3 Still to the heavens the weak will pour Their loud unanswered cry;

Still wealth doth heap its secret store, And want forgotten lie;

Lift high Thy banner, Prince of Peace, Let hatred die, and love increase.

▲ Thy gospel, Lord, is grace and love;
send it all abroad,

Till every heart submissive prove,
And bless the reigning God.

Come, lift Thy banner, Prince of Peace.
And give the weary world release.

148th.

203 Let the children of Zion be joyful.

RE

in their king.-Ps. 149, 2.
EJOICE! the Lord is King!
Your God and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:

Lift up the heart, lift up the voice:
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
2 Rejoice! the Saviour reigns,-
The God of truth and love;

When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:

Lift up the heart, lift up the voice:
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.

3 His kingdom cannot fail:

He rules o'er earth and heaven;
