With conscious worth

All clad in arms,

All bright in charms,
He sallies forth.]

2 Gird on thy conquering sword,
Ascend thy shining car,
And march, Almighty Lord,
To wage thy holy war:
Before his wheels,

In glad surprise,
Ye valleys rise,
And sink ye hills.

[3 Fair truth and smiling love,
And injur'd righteousness,

In thy retinue move,

And seek from thee redress.
Thou in their cause
Shalt prosperous ride,
And far and wide
Dispense thy laws.]

4 Before thine awful face
Millions of foes shall fall,
The captives of thy grace,
That grace which conquers all.
The world shall know,

Great King of kings,
What wondrous things
Thine arm can do.

5 Here to my willing soul
Bend thy triumphant way;
Here every foe control,

And all thy power display.
My heart, thy throne,
Blest Jesus see,

Bows low to thee,
To thee alone.

C.M.-Christ the Lord of all.

1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.

2 Crown him ye martyrs of our God,
Who from his altar call;
Extol the Stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown him Lord of all.
3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small,
Hail him who saves you by his
And crown him Lord of all.

grace,

4 Ye gentile sinners ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.
5 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,

To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.

60 that with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall;

There join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.

P.M.-Hallelujah.

1 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 Hallelujah! hark! the sound,
From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies;
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,

Sheath'd his sword, He speaks,-'tis done, And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.

3 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.

L.M.-Christ our High Priest. Heb. iv. 14-16.

1 WHERE high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The patron of mankind appears.

2 He, who for men in mercy stood,
And pour'd on earth his precious blood,
Pursues in heaven his plan of grace,
The guardian of the human race.
3. Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.

4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers, in the skies,
His tears, and agonies, and cries.

5 In every pang that rends the heart,
The man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes in our grief,

And to the sufferer sends relief.

6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aid of heavenly power,
To help us in the evil hour!

P.M.—Christ our High Priest. Heb. iv. 14-16.

A GOOD High Priest is come,
Supplying Aaron's place,
And taking up his room,

Dispensing life and grace:

The law by Aaron's priesthood came,
But grace and truth by Jesu's name.
He once temptations knew

Of

every sort and kind,

That he might succour shew
To every tempted mind:

In every point the Lamb was tried
Like us, and then for us he died.

He dies! but lives again,

And by the altar stands;
There shews how he was slain,
Opening his pierced hands;

Our Priest abides, and pleads the cause
Of us, who have transgress'd his laws.

I other priests disclaim,

And laws and offerings too,
None but the bleeding Lamb

The mighty work can do:

He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and died for me.

C.M.-Christ's Intercession typified by Aaron's breastplate.
Ex. xxviii. 29.

1 NOW let our cheerful eyes survey
Our great High Priest above,
And celebrate his constant care,
And sympathetic love.

2 Though rais'd to a superior throne,
Where angels bow around,

And high o'er all the shining train,
With matchless honours crown'd;
3 The names of all his saints he bears
Deep graven on his heart;

Nor shall the meanest Christian say,
That he hath lost his part.

4 Those characters shall fair abide,
Our everlasting trust,

When gems, and monuments, and crowns,
Are moulder'd down to dust.
5 So, gracious Saviour, on my breast
May thy dear name be worn,

A sacred ornament and guard,
To endless ages borne.

P.M.-The Priesthood of Christ. Heb. ix. 24.

1 ENTER'D the holy place above, Cover'd with meritorious scars, The tokens of his dying love,

Our great High Priest in glory bears; He pleads his passion on the tree, He shows himself to God for me. 2 Before the throne my Saviour stands, My Friend and Advocate appears; My name is graven on his hands, And him the Father always hears. While low at Jesu's cross I bow, He hears the blood of sprinkling now.
