Thou art partaker of his throne,
And all things thou sustainest:

Out of every nation and kindred, And made us thereby kings and priests unto God,

Watts.

T. 341.

WORTHY, O Lord, art thou, That every knee should bow, Every tongue to thee confess;

Universal nature join, Strong and mighty thee to bless, Gracious, merciful, benign. 2. Hail your dread Lord and ours, Dominions, thrones, and powers: Source of power he rules alone:

Veil your faces, prostrate fall, Cast your crowns before his throne, Hail the Cause, the Lord of all. 3. Justice and truth maintain

Thy everlasting reign;
One with thine almighty Sire,
Partner of an equal throne,
King of kings, let all conspire,
Gratefully thy sway to own.

THOU reign'st above on heaven's throne,

The Father's equal, God the Son;
The Holy Ghost to us displays
Thy majesty and boundless grace,
And in the Scriptures clearly doth
explain,

That thou, Lord, madest and redeemedst man.

2. With awe and reverence 'fore thee, (knee, And at thy name we bow the As all in earth and heaven join To extol thy majesty divine, And thee, to God the Father's glory, call (of all. The great Jehovah, mighty Lord

To the Redeemer's name; His praises should employ each And every heart inflame. (tongue, 2. He laid his glory by,

And dreadful pains endur'd, That rebels, such as you and I, From wrath might be secur'd.

3. Upon the cross he died, Our debt of sin to pay; The blood and water from his side Wash guilt and sin away. 4. And now he pleading stands For us, before the throne; And answers all the law demands, With what himself hath done. 5. He sees us willing slaves

To sin, and Satan's power; But with an outstretch'd arm he In his appointed hour.

6. The Holy Ghost he sends

(saves,

Our stubborn souls to move, To make his enemies his friends, And conquer them by love. 7. The love of sin departs, The life of grace takes place, Soon as his voice invites our hearts To rise and seek his face.

8. The world and Satan rage,

But he their power controls;
His wisdom, love, and truth engage
Protection for our souls.

9. Tho' press'd, we need not yield,
But shall prevail at length;
For Jesus is our sun and shield,
Our righteousness and strength.
10. Assur'd that Christ our King
Will put our foes to flight,
We on the field of battle sing,
And triumph while we fight.

HOSANNA to the Son
Of David, and of God, (down,
Who brought the news of pardon
And seal'd it with his blood.

2. To Christ, the anointed King,

Be endless blessings giv'n; Let the whole earth his glory sing

Who made our peace with heaven.

JESUS, who with thee
Can compared be?
Source of rest and consolation.
Life, and light, and full salvation:
Son of God, with thee
None compar'd can be.

From all misery

And distress me to deliver,
And from death to save for ever:
I am by thy blood,
Reconcil'd to God.

3. Highest King and Priest,
Prophet, Lord, and Christ,
Thy dear sceptre is embraced
By me at thy feet abased:
I choose Mary's seat
At thy holy feet.

Lord, to run my race,

Following thee with love most ten-
So that Satan may not hinder
Me by craft or force:
Further thou my course.
5. By thy Spirit's light
Me instruct aright,
That I watch and pray with fervo:
Trusting thee, my soul's preserve
Love unfeign'd, O Lord,

6. When I hence depart,
Strengthen thou my heart,
And into thy realms convey me,
In thy righteousness array me,
That at thy right hand
Joyful I may stand.
