Help us to praise!
Father all glorious,
O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

2 Jesus, our Lord, arise,
Scatter our enemies;

Now make them fall!
Let thine almighty aid
Our sure defence be made,
Our souls on thee be stayed;
Lord, hear our call!

3 Come, thou incarnate Word,
Gird on thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend!
Come, and thy people bless;
Come, give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness,

265

On us descend!

Tune, Fulton.

"Praise ye the Lord." Ps. cl. 1.

SONGS of praise the angels sang:
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,

When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake and it was done.

2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity.

3 Heaven and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

78.

4 And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No: the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,

Songs of praise their powers employ.

"Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King."
Ps. cxlix. 2.

YREAT the joy when Christians meet,
Christian fellowship, how sweet,
When, their theme of praise the same,
They exalt Jehovah's name!

2 Sing we, then, eternal love;
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone;
Loved the world, and gave his Son.
3 Sing the Son's unbounded love;
How he left the realms above;
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.

4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;
With our stubborn hearts he strove;
Chased the mists of sin away,
Turned our night to glorious day.

7 8.

5 Great the joy, the union sweet,
When the saints in glory meet;
Where the theme is still the same;
Where they praise Jehovah's name.

"Who is over all, God blessed forever." ROM. ix. 5.

FATHER Almighty, to thee be addressed,

With Christ and the Spirit, one God ever blessed,

All glory and worship from earth and from heaven,

As was, and is now, and shall ever be given.

Ex. xxv. 9.

UBILEE, sing jubilee,

JUBI

Sing with hearts and voices,

Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Heaven with earth rejoices.

Year of years, so great and glorious,
Jesus comes, he comes victorious,
Jesus comes, he comes to reign.

2 Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Prison gates fly open,
Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Iron bars are broken.
Angel voices sweetly singing,
Silver trumpets loudly ringing,
Joyful news to captives bring.

3 Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Mourners, cease your sadness,

Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Sorrow, turn to gladness.

Weary hearts that now are aching, Wounded hearts that now are breaking, Jesus longs to give you rest.

4 Jubilee, sing jubilee,

March beneath his banner,
Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Shout aloud Hosanna!
This the day of his salvation,
Worthy of all acceptation;

Come and welcome, sinners, come.

5 Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Pentecost returning

Jubilee, sing jubilee,

Hearts and tongues are burning,
Holy Comforter, descending,
All thy gifts and graces lending,
Dwell within us evermore.
