2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid;
By almighty love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made.
All Thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven;

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

3 Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare,
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give;
Help, ye bright angelic spirits,
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,
Help to chant Immanuel's praise.

AIL, to the Lord's Anointed,

90 H Great David's greater Son!

7s. 6s. Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun.
He comes to break oppression,
To let the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

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

And love, joy, 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 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.

4 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.

5 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.

91 HALLELUJAH, best and sweetest

4.

Of the hymns of praise above;

8s. 7s. Hallelujah, thou repeatest,
Angel-host, these notes of love:
This ye utter,

While your golden harps ye move.

2 Hallelujah, church victorious,
Join the concert of the sky;
Hallelujah, bright and glorious,
Lift, ye saints, this strain on high;
We, poor exiles,
Join not yet your melody.

3 Hallelujah, strains of gladness
Suit not souls with anguish torn:
Hallelujah, sounds of sadness
Best become the heart forlorn:
Our offences

We with bitter tears must mourn.

4 But our earnest supplication,
Holy God, we raise to Thee:
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Make us all Thy joys to see:
Hallelujah,

Ours at length this strain shall be.

92 HARK, how the adoring hosts above

With songs surround the throne;
C. M. Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their hearts are one.

2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exalted thus;

Worthy the Lamb, let us reply,

For He was slain for us.

3 To Him be power divine ascribed,
And endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain

For ever on His head.

4 Thou hast redeemed us with Thy blood,
And set the prisoners free;
Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with Thee.

5 From every kindred, every tongue,
Thou brought'st Thy chosen race;
And distant lands and isles have shared
The riches of Thy grace.

6 To Him who sits upon the throne,
The God whom we adore,

And to the Lamb that once was slain
Be glory evermore.

93 HARK, the glad sound, the Saviour

C. M.

comes,

The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts its sacred fire;

Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.

3 He comes the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held;

The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron fetters yield.

4 He comes from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eyeballs of the blind
To pour celestial day.

5 He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;

And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.

6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name.

94 HARK, the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King; 7s. Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,

Join the triumph of the skies;
Universal nature say,

Christ the Lord is born to-day.

2 Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb:

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail, the incarnate Deity,

Pleased as Man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!

3 Hail, the heavenly Prince of peace,
Hail, the Sun of righteousness,
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild, He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
4 Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the woman's conquering Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent's head.
Adam's likeness, Lord, efface;
Stamp Thy image in its place;
O to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart.

95 H Loud as mighty thunders roar,

ARK, the song of Jubilee ;

7s.

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore:
Hallelujah, for the Lord

God omnipotent, shall reign;
Hallelujah, let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

2 Hallelujah, hark, the sound,

From the depths unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banner furled,

Sheathed His sword: He speaks; 'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of His Son.

3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;

He shall reign, when like a scroll
Yonder heavens have passed away :
