A-MEN.

A-MEN.

What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and love mercy? Mic. vi: 8.

I Lord, what offering shall we bring,
At Thine altars when we bow?
Hearts, the pure, unsullied spring,
Whence the kind affections flow: 3

2 Willing hands, to lead the blind,

Heal the wounded, feed the poor;

Love, embracing all our kind;
Charity, with liberal store.
Teach us, O Thou heavenly King,

Thus to show our grateful mind,
Thus the accepted offering bring,
Love to God and all mankind.

Dox. VI.

(FIRST TUNE.)

A-MEN.

On his head were many crowns; and he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written King of kings, and Lord of lords. Rev. xix: 12, 16.

N. B. In the first tune "Crown Him" is sung four times, in
the second tune the last two lines of each verse are repeated.

I 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 your God,
Who from His altar call;

Praise Him whose way of pain ye trod,
And crown Him Lord of all.

3 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

Ye ransomed of the fall,

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.

4 Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line
Whom David Lord did call ;

The God Incarnate, Man Divine,
And crown Him Lord of all.

50 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth in the heaven in thy help,

and in his excellency on the sky. Deut. xxxiii: 26.

I None is like Jeshurun's God,

So great, so strong, so high; Lo, He spreads His wings abroad,

He rides upon the sky! Israel is His chosen son;

God, the mighty God, is thine:
See Him to thy help come down,
The Excellence Divine.

2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns
To succour and defend:
Thee the eternal God sustains,
Thy Maker and thy Friend.
Israel what hast thou to dread,

Safe from all impending harms?
Round thee and beneath are spread
The everlasting arms.

3 In a land of corn and wine

Thy lot shall be below; Comforts shall with blessings join, And milk and honey flow. Jacob's well shall ne'er be dry: Gracious dew shall heaven distil; Joy descending from on high

Each humble heart shall fill.

4 Blest, O Israel, blest art thou! What people is like thee? Saved and kept by Jesus now

Thou art and still shalt be. Jesus is thy sevenfold shield:

Jesus is thy flaming sword: Earth, and hell, and sin shall yield To His almighty Word.
