3 No more let human blood be spilt-
Vain sacrifice for human guilt!
But to each conscience be applied
The blood that flow'd from Jesus' side.
4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim,
In ev'ry land, of ev'ry name;
Let adverse powers before thee fall,
And crown the Saviour-Lord of all.
JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run: His kingdom spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 From north to south the princes meet
To pay their homage at his feet;
While western empires own their Lord,
And savage tribes attend his word.
3 To him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
4 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
GOD of sovereign grace,
We bow before thy throne ;
And plead for all the human race
The merits of thy Son.
2 Spread thro' the earth, O Lord,
The knowledge of thy ways;
And let all lands with joy record
The great Redeemer's praise!
221. WATTS & WESLEY.
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.
NOW be the gospel banner
In every land unfurl'd;
And be the shout HOSANNA
Re-echoed through the world:
Till every isle and nation,
Till every tribe and tongue,
Receive the great salvation,
And join the happy throng.
Now be the gospel banner
In every land unfurl'd;
And be the shout Hosanna
Re-echoed through the world.
2 Yes, thou shalt reign for ever,
O JESUS, King of kings!
Thy light, thy love, thy favour,
Each ransom'd captive sings;
The isles for thee are waiting,
The deserts learn thy praise,
The hills and valleys greeting,
The song responsive raise.
Now be the gospel banner
In every land unfurl'd;
And be the shout Hosanna
Re-echoed through the world.
HARK! the song of jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore: Hallelujah! for the Lord,
God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway:
He shall reign when like a scroll
Yonder heavens have pass'd away!
Then the end;-beneath his rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.
GREAT God, before thy sacred thror
A youthful tribe draws near;
To praise thee, for thy mercies shown
Through every passing year.
"Tis thine indulgent care prolongs
Our transitory days;
And, in return, demands our songs
Of gratitude and praise.
3 What numbers of our helpless race
Are left to run astray;
While we are brought to seek thy face, And shown the narrow way.
4 When time with us shall be no more, O may we meet above,
To sing, on heaven's eternal shore,
Thy kind redeeming love.
COME, let our voices join
To sing a song of praise:
For favours so divine
Our grateful notes we'll raise.
CONGREGATION.
To God alone the praise belongs,
His love demands your noblest songs.
2 When wand'ring far astray, In paths of vice and sin,
You kindly pointed out
The danger we were in.
CONGREGATION.
To God alone be all the praise,
Who turns your feet from sinful ways
