HYMN 24. 7's. Redeeming Love. [*] Christ's Resurrection and Ascension. Matt. xxviii, 2.

NGELS, roll the rock away!

d1A Death, yield up the mighty prey!

See, the Saviour quits the tomb-
Glowing with immortal bloom.
u 2 Shout, ye seraphs; Gabriel, raise
Thine eternal trump of praise
-Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound.

o 3 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes;
See the Conqueror mount the skies;
Troops of angels on the road,
Hail and sing th' incarnate God.
g 4 Heaven unfolds her portals wide-
Glorious Hero, through them ride
;
King of glory, mount thy throne;
Boundless empire is thine own.
85 Praise him, ye celestial choirs,
Praise, and sweep your golden lyres ;
Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand thousand tongues.
-6 Let Emmanuel be ador'd-

d Ransom, Mediator, Lord;

o To creation's utmost bound,
Let th' immortal praise resound.

Blessed be thy gentle reign.

e 5 But thy rich, thy free redemption,

Dark through brightness all along e Thought is poor, and poor expression; a Who dare sing that awful song?

-6 Brightness of the Father's glory, Shall thy praise unutter'd lie?

d Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence! Sing the Lord, who came to die.

e 7 Did archangels sing thy coming?

Did the shepherds learn their lays? -Shame would cover me, ungrateful,

Should my tongue refuse to praise.
8 From the highest throne in glory,
To the cross of deepest wo-
All to ransom guilty captives!

Flow, my praise, for ever flow.
9 Go, return, immortal Saviour;
Leave thy footstool, take thy throne:
g Thence return, and reign for ever;
Be the kingdom all thine own.
Hallelujah, &c.

Jesus is King. Rev. xiv, 3.

1ET us awake our joys,

Strike up with cheerful voice-
Each creature, sing;

Angels-begin the song,
Mortals the strains prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,-

Tell of his matchless fame-
What wonders done;

Shout through hell's dark profound,
Let the whole earth resound,
Till the high heavens rebound-

And triumph evermore,

With a glad voice.

When through the heavenly way,
Lo, he shall come!

o Saints, see your King prevail;

Come, dear Lord, come!

Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore:

In that immortal song!

And love command my tongue Watts's Lyr
