HYMNS.

HYMN 1. C. M.

"And they sung a new song before the throne." Rev. xiv. 3.

1 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, 66 To be exalted thus;"

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

3 Jesus is worthy to receive

[ocr errors]

Honour and power divine;

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

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak thine endless praise.

5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name

Of Him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

HYMN 2. P. M.

"I will make them joyful in my house of prayer.”

1 I'm glad I ever saw the day, Sing glory, glory, glory,

Isa. lvi. 7.

In which we met to sing and pray,
Sing glory, glory, glory.

'Tis glory's foretaste makes me sing
Of glory, glory, glory,

And praise my Saviour and my King,
Like those in glory, glory.

2 I hope to praise him when I die,
Sing glory, glory, glory;
And shout salvation as I fly
To glory, glory, glory.

I'll sing while mounting through the air,
Of glory, glory, glory;

Then meet my Father's children there,
In glory, glory, glory.

3 Come on, my friends, let's mend our pace
To glory, glory, glory;
And we shall see him face to face,
In glory, glory, glory;

With Abram, Isaac, Jacob too,

Who live in glory, glory.

Let's keep the blessed prize in view,

'Tis glory, glory, glory.

4 A few more rising suns at most,
Sing glory, glory, glory,

Will land us safe on Canaan's coast,
In glory, glory, glory.

Upon Mount Zion we shall meet,
In glory, glory, glory;

Then cast our crowns beneath his feet,
In glory, glory, glory.

5 Come, sinners, come along with us,
To glory, glory, glory;

There's room enough in that blest place,
Where Jesus dwells in glory.
Believe, repent, seek holiness,

And glory, glory, glory;

For God doth freely give us grace,
And glory, glory, glory.

HYMN 3. L. M.

"I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me."-Psal. iii. 5.

1 AWAKE, my soul! and with the sun.
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Glory to thee who safe hast kept,
And hast refresh'd me while I slept:
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.

3 Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
Disperse my sins as morning dew;

Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.

4 Direct, control, suggest this day,
Whate'er I do, whate'er I say,

That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

5. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

"The Lord is risen."-Luke xxiv. 34.

1 THIS is the day when Christ arose,
So early from the dead;

Why should I keep my eyelids clos'd,
And waste my hours in bed?

2 This is the day when Jesus broke
The powers of death and hell;
And shall I still wear Satan's yoke,
And love my sins so well?

3 To-day, with pleasure, Christians meet,
To pray and hear thy word;

And I will go, with cheerful feet,
To learn thy will, O Lord.

4 I'll leave my sins, I'll read and pray,

And so prepare

for heav'n:

O! may I love this blessed day,
The best of all the seven.
