4 Saviour, hasten thine appearing,
Bring, O, bring the glorious day,
When the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away!
Then with golden harps we'll sing,
Glory, glory, to our King.

"Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and truc are thy ways, thou King of Saints." REV. XV. 3.

21

How wondrous and great

Thy works, God of praise;

How just, King of saints,
And true are thy ways:
O who shall not fear thee,
And honour thy name:
Thou only art holy,

Thou only supreme.

2 To nations long dark

Thy light shall be shown;
Their worship and vows
Shall come to thy throne;
Thy truth and thy judgments
Shall spread all abroad,
Till earth's every people
Confess thee their God.

Tune, Zion.

"We are more than conquerors, through him that loved us."

HALL

ROMANS viii. 37.

[ALLELUJAH! victory, victory! Lift the conqueror's song on high!

Jesus drives the foe before us,
Lo, the powers of darkness fly;
Hallelujah,

Now our joyful hearts reply.

2 Long and fierce has been the conflict;
Long the issue hung in doubt;
Hell united all its forces;

All were foiled and put to rout:
Hallelujah-

Raise to heaven the rapturous shout.

3 Hallelujah-to the Saviour!
Let the triumph widely spread,
Twas his precious blood stained banner
Struck the raging foe with dread;
Hallelujah-

Satan saw the CROSS, and fled.

"Blessed be his glorious name forever." Ps. lxxii. 19.

COME, every pious heart

That loves the Saviour's name,

Your noblest powers exert

To celebrate his fame:

Tell all above and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.

2 He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died.
What he endured, O! who can tell?
To save our souls from death and hell.

3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansion of the dead:
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:

Up through the sky the conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

4 Jesus, we ne'er can pay

23

The debt we owe thy love;

Yet tell us how we may

Our gratitude approve:

Our hearts-our all to thee we give:
The gift, though small, do thou receive.

Tune, Ashley.

"I will joy in the God of my salvation." HAB. iii. 18.

SALVA

ALVATION! oh, the joyful sound,
Glad tidings to our ears;

A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Salvation! buried once in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay;
But now we rise by grace divine
And see a heavenly day.

3 Salvation! let the echo fly

The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

4 Salvation! O thou bleeding Lamb,
To thee the praise belongs:
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

CHORUS.

GLORY, honour, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb forever!
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord!

Ps. cl. 6.

FOR a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,-
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honours of thy name.

3 Jesus! the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears;
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 Look unto him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race;

25

Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.

Tune, Northampton.

OF THE

REESE LIBR UNIVERSIT. LIFORNI

2 See where it shines in Jesus' face,
The brightest image of his grace;
God, in the person of his Son,
Has all his mightiest works outdone.
3 Grace! 'tis a sweet, a charming theme
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name!
Ye angels dwell upon the sound:
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground!
4 Oh, may I reach that happy place
Where he unveils his lovely face!
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold!

COME, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

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

"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For he was slain for us.'

3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;

27

And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever thine.
