Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound,
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

Jesus, our great High Priest,
Hath full atonement made;
Ye weary spirits, rest;

Ye mournful souls, be glad :
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

Ye who have sold for nought

Your heritage above,
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesu's love;

The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

The Gospel trumpet hear,

The news of heavenly grace;
And, saved from earth, appear
Before your Saviour's face:
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

Extol the Lamb of God,

The all-atoning Lamb;

Redemption through His blood

Throughout the world proclaim:

The year of Jubilee is come:

Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

21 BWine of the soul, in mercy shed, 9s. 8s. By whom the words of life were spoken, And in whose death our sins are dead,

READ of the world, in mercy broken,

2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be Thy feast to us the token
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.

22 BRETHREN, let us join to bless

Christ, our peace and righteousness; 7s. Let our praise to Him be given, High at God's right hand in heaven. 2 Thee, the angels ceaseless sing; Thee, we praise, our Priest and King; Worthy is Thy name of praise, Full of glory, full of grace.

23

3 Thou hast the glad tidings brought
Of salvation by Thee wrought;
Wrought to set Thy people free,
Wrought to bring our souls to Thee.
4 May we follow and adore

Thee, our Saviour, more and more;
Guide and bless us with Thy love
Till we join Thy saints above.

RIEF life is here our portion;

BRIEF is out poeti care;

7s. 6s. The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there.

O happy retribution,

Short toil, eternal rest;

For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest.

2 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting

And passionless renown;
And He whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.

3 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day;
There God, our King and portion,
In fulness of His grace,
Shall we behold for ever,
And worship face to face.

24 C As ye journey, sweetly sing; CH

(HILDREN of the heavenly King,

7s.

Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest;
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light;
Zion's city is in sight:

There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.

5 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Christ, the everlasting Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
6 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below:
Only Thou our leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.

25 Perfecting the saints below,

YHRIST, from whom all blessings flow,

7s.

Steadfast let us cleave to Thee;
Love, the mystic union be.

Still our fellowship increase;
Knit us in the bond of peace;
Join us, in one spirit join,
Each to each, and all to Thine.
2 Move, and actuate, and guide;
Divers gifts to each divide;
Placed according to Thy will,
Let us all our work fulfil;
Never from our office move,
Needful to each other prove;
Use the grace on each bestowed,
Tempered by the art of God.

3 Many are we now, and one,
We who Jesus have put on;
Sweetly may we all agree,
Touched with softest sympathy:
Love, like death, hath all destroyed,
Rendered all distinctions void;
Names and sects and parties fall,
Thou, O Christ, art all in all.

26 CH

HRIST is gone up with a joyful sound,
He is gone to His bright abode;

P. M. The armies of heaven, they throng around,
To hail their ascended God.

2 He is gone to His glorious throne on high, And to claim the victor's crown;

And captive He leads captivity,

And the foe He has overthrown.

3 He is gone to pour, from the fount of love,
Rich gifts on a sinful race;

To prepare a place for His saints above,
And to shed the Spirit's grace.

4 Christ is gone up with a joyful sound,
He is gone to His bright abode;

With the seraphim pure, who His throne sur-
round,

O praise our ascended God.

27 Christ the head and corner-stone, CHR

YHRIST is made the sure foundation,

8s.7s. Chosen of the Lord and precious, Binding all the Church in one, Holy Sion's help for ever,

And her confidence alone.

2 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, to-day;
With Thy wonted loving-kindness,
Hear Thy servants as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.

C

3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain;
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter, in Thy glory,
Evermore with Thee to reign.

28 Sons of men, and angels, say,

YHRIST, the Lord, is risen to-day,

78.

Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
2 Love's redeeming work is done;
Fought the fight, the battle won;
Lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er ;
Lo! He sets in blood no more.
3 Lives again our glorious King:
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save:
Where thy victory, O grave?

4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Following our exalted Head;

Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven;
Praise to Thee by both be given;
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Hail, the Resurrection Thou!

29 Christ, the true, the only Light, YHRIST, whose glory fills the skies,

7s.

Sun of righteousness, arise,

Triumph o'er the shades of night:
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.

2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,
Unaccompanied by Thee;

Joyless is the day's return,

Till Thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
