9 Break at once oppression's chains, XIX. HYMN.-8 lines, 8's. 1 OUR Lord is risen from the dead; 2 Loose all your bars of massy light, The Lord that all our foes o'ercame ; 3 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay; The Lord, of glorious power possess'd; The King of saints and angels too, XX. HYMN.-4 lines, 7's. 1 COME, desire of nations, come! Hasten, Lord, the general doom; Hear the Spirit and the Bride, Come, and take us to thy side. 2 Thou who hast our place prepar'd, Make us meet for our reward; Then with all thy saints descend; Then our earthly trials end. 8 Mindful of thy chosen race, Shorten these vindictive days; Who for full redemption groan, Hear us now, and save thine own. 4 Now destroy the man of sin; Now thine ancient flock bring in ; Fill'd with righteousness divine, Claim a ransom'd world for thine. 5 Plant the heavenly kingdom here, Glorious in thy saints appear; Speak the sacred number seal'd ; Speak thy mystery fulfill'd. 6 Take to thee thy royal power; Reign, when sin shall be no more; Reign, when death no more shall be; XXI. HYMN.-C. M. 1 My God, thy glories we would sing, 2 Who would not fear thy glorious name, 3 With greatest joy we celebrate Thine arm is strong, thy power is 4 Eternal self-existent Power, Thou art the God whom we adore, great, 5 The God who made the heav'ns and earth, Who form'd us with his hands, Whose pow'r first gave creation birth, 6 He that was pow'rful to create, 7 How wise and powerful, just and good, XXII. HYMN.-C. M. 1 JEHOVAH is both true and just, And they who in his promise trust 2 God is not like to faithless men; 3 His truth and love shall never fail, His faithfulness shall last ; Nor shall the pow'r of earth prevail 4 A thousand ages can't destroy Which he doth evermore employ 5 Both heaven and earth shall pass away, 6 What firm support this doctrine gives 7 Then trust his word, and never fear, The Lord your God is always near Winchester. XXIII. HYMN.-C. M. 1 My God thy glories we would sing, 2 Who would not fear thy glorious name, 3 Eternal self-existent power, Thou art the God whom we adore, |
