HYMN 28. H. M. Triumph. [*]
The Kingdom of Christ. Phil. iv, 4.
EJOICE the Lord is King:

R

Your God and King adore;
Mortals give thanks and sing,

And triumph evermore:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints rejoice.
2 Rejoice-the Saviour reigns!
The God of truth and love;
When he had purg'd our stains,
He took his seat above:

Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, Rejoice aloud, ye saints rejoice. -3 His kingdom cannot fail,

He rules air, earth, and heaven: The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus giv'n:

o Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, Rejoice aloud, ye saints rejoice.

-5 He all his foes shall quell, Shall all our sins destroy; And every bosom swell,

With pure seraphic joy;

o Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, Rejoice aloud, ye saints rejoice.

0 6 Rejoice in glorious hope,

Jesus the Judge shall come

And take his servants up
To their eternal home:

g We soon shall hear the archangel's voice:

The trump of God shall sound-rejoice!

His love and grace adore,

Cheerfully join in one,

Sealing our peace with God,
Sound his dear name abroad-

Our Lord and God to bless;

And make a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice-

Yet we shall never cease

Praising his name:

To him our songs we bring-
Hail him our gracious King,

HE

E lives-the great Redeemer lives; What joy the blest assurance gives; -And now before his Father God,

Pleads the full merits of his blood.

e 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice, arm'd with frowns, appears ;
-But in the Saviour's lovely face,

o Sweet mercy smiles-and all is peace!
-3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts-
Above our fears, above our faults,,
o His powerful intercessions rise;
And guilt recedes, and terrour dies.
e 4 In ev'ry dark distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their pow'r,
-Let this dear hope repel the dart-
That Jesus bears us on his heart.
5 Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On him our humble hopes depend;
o Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

Praise to the Redeemer.

Thou didst free salvation bring;
By thy death thou didst release us,
From the tyrant's deadly sting.

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid;
Great High Priest, by God anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
3 Contrite sinners are forgiven,
Through the virtue of thy blood:
Open'd is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made for man with God.

4 Jesus, hail! enthron'd in glory:
There for ever to abide ;

All the heav'nly hosts adore thec,
Seated at thy Father's side.

Till in heaven we appear.

• Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

HYMN 33. 7s. Redeeming Love. [*]

Redeeming Love.

NOW begin the heav'nly theme,

Sing aloud in Jesus' name;

-Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.

2 Ye who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
o As to Canaan on ye move,

Praise and bless redeeming love.

e 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
o See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.

e 4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin!
-Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop, and taste redeeming love.
o 5 Welcome, all by sin oppress'd-
Welcome to his sacred rest:
d Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.

o 6 He subdu'd th' infernal pow'rs;
His tremendous foes and ours,
From their cursed empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming love.

o 7 Hither, then, your music bring,
u Strike aloud each joyful string;
-Mortals, join the hosts above
g Join to praise redeeming love.

The Necessity of Renewing Grace.
TOW helpless guilty nature lies,

H'Unconscious of its load!

e The heart, unchang'd, can never rise To happiness and God.

p 2 The will perverse, the passions blind, In paths of ruin stray;

Reason, debas'd, can never find

The safe, the narrow way.

e 3 Can ought, beneath a pow'r divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, almighty Saviour, thine,
To form the heart anew.

4 'Tis thine the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
And make the scales of errour fall,
From reason's darken'd eyes.

5 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live ;

A beam of heav'n, a vital ray'Tis thine alone to give.

p 6 O change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine!

Then shall our passions and our pow'rs,
Amighty Lord, be thine!

Prayer for the Spirit. John xiv, 26.

COME, Holy Spirit, come,

Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood;
And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of God.

3 Revive our drooping faith;

Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love.
