5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.

1 THE name of Jesus sooths the soul,
And swells it with unbounded joys;
And all the sounds harmonious roll,
When that the grateful song employs.

2 Then wake my song her skill to try,
And ev'ry note with Jesus fill;
But all the sounds in Jesus die,
And his dear name's the music still.-

3 A name that angels love to praise ;
But yet a name of worth so great,
That all the notes that angels raise,
Lost in the name, are incomplete.

4 The voice of grief itself is lost, When Jesu's name the music is; And saints in heav'n no joy could boast, id not his name create their bliss.

HAIL to the Lord's anointed!
Great David's greater Son;

Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!

2 He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

3 For him shall pray'r unceasing,
And daily praise, ascend;
His kingdom still increasing
A kingdom without end,

4 O'er ev'ry foe, victorious,

He on his throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blest.

166KING of kings, and Lord of Lords!"

These are great and awful word

'Tis to Jesus they belong;

Let his people raise their song;

2 Crown him then whom angels sing
Crown him universal King!
Jesus fills the throne above,
Jesus is the God of love.

3 Holy, holy, holy, Lord.

Heav'n and earth thy name record:
Pow'r and praise to thee belong;
Lord accept our feeble song.

C. M. King of Kings.

KELLY.

1 WHENCE those unusual bursts of joy Whose sound through heaven rings!

They welcome Jesus to the sky,

And crown him "King of Kings."

2 The brightest angel glory boasts To him his tribute brings,

And joins high heav'ns assembled hosts To crown him "King of Kings."

3 Look up ye saints, and while ye gaze, Forget all earthly things;

Unite to sing the Saviour's praise,
And crown him "King of Kings."

4 When here, he bore our sin and shame, And thence our comfort springs, 'Tis meet we should exalt his name, And crown him "King of Kings."

5 We hope ere long, beyond those clouds, To tune celestial strings;

And join with heav'n's exulting crowds,
To crown him "King of Kings."

Lamb Slain.

KELLY.

1 WEET is the savour of his name, Who suffer'd in his people's stead; His portion here, reproach and shame, He liveth now, he once was dead.

2 He once was dead, the very same,
Who sits on yonder throne above;
Who bears in heav'n the greatest name,
Whom angels serve, whom angels love.

3 He once was dead, the very same
Who made the worlds, a work of pow'r,
Who now upholds the mighty frame,
And keeps it till the final hour.

4 He once was dead, the very same

At whose command the dead shall rise,
To sorrow some, and endless shame,
And some to everlasting joys.

5 He once was dead, but now he lives,
His glory fills all heav'n above;
Its blessedness to heav'n he gives,
The fountain he of joy and love,

6 His people shall his triumph share,
With him shall live, with him shall reign;
In heav'n their joy is full, for there
They see the LAMB for sinners slain.

1 THOU dear Redeemer, dying Lamb, We love to hear of thee;

No music like thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.

may we ever hear thy voice,
In mercy to us speak;

nd in our Priest will we rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec.
