3 Toil, trial, suffering still await
On earth the pilgrim throng;
Yet learn we in our low estate
The Church triumphant's song

4 Worthy the Lamb for sinners slam,
Cry the redeem'd above,
Blessing and honour to obtain,
And everlasting love.

5 Worthy the Lamb, on earth we sing,
Who died our souls to save;

Henceforth, O Death, where is thy sting Thy victory, O Grave?

6 Then hallelujah! power and praise
To God in Christ be given;

May all who now this anthem raise,
Renew the song in heaven.

HAR

9th P. M. 87, 87.

Glory to the Lamb.

ARK! the notes of angels, singing,
Glory, glory to the Lamb!

All in heaven their tribute bringing,
Raising high the Saviour's name.

2 Ye for whom his life was given,
Sacred themes to you belong :
Come, assist the choir of heaven;
Join the everlasting song.

8 Fill'd with holy emulation,
We unite with those above:
Sweet the theme-a free salvation-
Fruit of everlasting love.

4 Endless life in him possessing,
Let us praise his precious name;
Glory, honour, power, and blessing,
Be forever to the Lamb.

5th P. M. 4 lines 7s.

Saints and angels ever praising God.
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 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

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

Songs of praise their powers employ.

L. M. Tribute of praise to the Saviour. JESUS, thou everlasting King,

Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept thy well-deserved renown,
And wear our praises as thy crown.
2 Let every act of worship be
Like our espousals, Lord, to thee:
Like the blest hour, when from above.
We first received the pledge of love.
3 The gladness of that happy day,
O may it ever, ever stay:

Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor hope decline, nor love grow cold.
4 Let every moment, as it flies,
Increase thy praise, improve our joys,
Till we are raised to sing thy Name,
At the great supper of the Lamb.

11

L. M.

The creation invited to praise God.
FROM all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.
2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring;
In songs of praise divinely sing;
The great salvation loud proclaim,
And shout for joy the Saviour's name.
4 In every land begin the song;
To every land the strains belong:
In cheerful sounds all voices raise,
And fill the world with loudest praise.

The universal King.

COME, sound his praise abroad,

And hymns of glory sing:

Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2 He form'd the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound ;-
The wat'ry worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

S. M.

3 Come, worship at his throne,
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are his works, and not our own,
He form'd us by his word.

4 To-day attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice
And own your gracious God.

4th P. M. 886, 886.

The love of Jesus.

JESUS, thou soul of all our joys,

For whom we now lift up our voice,
And all our strength exert,-
Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim;
Compose into a thankful frame,
And tune thy people's heart."

9 While in the heavenly work we join,
Thy glory be our whole design,
Thy glory, not our own:-

Still let us keep this end in view,
And still the pleasing task pursue,
To please our God alone.

3 Thee let us praise, our common Lord,
And sweetly join, with one accord,

Thy goodness to proclaim: Jesus, thyself in us reveal, And all our faculties shall feel Thy harmonizing name.

4 With calmly reverential joy,
O let us all our lives employ
In setting forth thy love;

And raise in death our triumph higher,
And sing, with all the heavenly choir,
That endless song above.

14

S. M.

Exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

ARISE and bless the Lord,

Ye people of his choice;"

Arise, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart, and soul, and voice.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,

Who would not fear his holy Name
And laud, and magnify?

#s

30 for the living flame,
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought.

4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;

Then be his love in Christ proclaim'd
With all our ransom'd powers.

5 Arise, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;
Arise, and bless his glorious Name,
Henceforth, forever more.

15

5th P. M. 4 lines 7s.

Let all the people praise Him. THANK and praise Jehovah's Name, For his mercies, firm and sure, From eternity the same,

To eternity endure.

2 Let the ransom'd thus rejoice,
Gather'd out of every land;
As the people of his choice,
Pluck'd from the destroyer's hand.

8 Let the elders praise the Lord,
Him let all the people praise,
When they meet, with one accord,
In his courts on holy days.

4 Praise him, ye who know his love;
Praise him from the depths beneath;
Praise him in the heights above;
Praise your Maker, all that breathe.

5 For his truth and mercy stand,
Past, and present, and to be,
Like the years of his right hand,
Like his own eternity
