"The Lord is King."

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

3 His kingdom cannot fail,

He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

He sits at God's right hand

Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,

And fall beneath His feet:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

5 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell

With pure seraphic joy:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

6 Rejoice in glorious hope;

Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take His servants up

To their eternal home:

We soon shall hear the archangel's voice, The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice. Rev. Charles Wesley. (1708-1788.) 1748.

"I will send Him unto you."
John. xvi. 7.

I SINNERS, lift up your hearts,
The promise to receive:
Jesus Himself imparts,

He comes in man to live;

The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven. 2 Jesus is glorified,

And gives the Comforter,

His Spirit, to reside

In all His members here:

The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven

3 To make an end of sin,

And Satan's works destroy,

He brings His kingdom in,
Peace, righteousness, and joy:
The Holy Ghost to man is given;
Rejoice in God sent down from heaven.
4 Sent down to make us meet

To see His glorious Face,
And grant us each a seat

In that thrice happy place,
The Holy Ghost to man is given;
Rejoice in God sent down from heaven.

5 From heaven He shall once more Triumphantly descend,

And all His saints restore

To joys that never end:

Then, then, when all our joys are given, Rejoice in God, rejoice in heaven.

Rev. John Wesley. (1703-1791.) 1746. ab,

4 Earth quakes before that rushing blast,
Heaven echoes back the sound,
And mightily the tempest wheels
That Upper Room around.

5 One moment-and the Spirit hung
O'er all with dread desire;
Then broke upon the heads of all
In cloven tongues of fire.

6 The Spirit came into the Church
With His unfailing power;
He is the living Heart that beats
Within her at this hour.

7 Most tender Spirit, mighty God,
Sweet must Thy presence be,

If loss of Jesus can be gain,

So long as we have Thee!

I WHEN Godof old came down from heaven,
In power and wrath He came;
Before His feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.

2 But when He came the second time,
He came in power and love;
Softer than gale at morning prime,
Hovered His holy Dove.

3 The fires, that rushed on Sinai down
In sudden torrents dread,

Now gently light, a glorious crown,
On every sainted head.

4 And, as on Israel's awe-struck ear
The voice exceeding loud,
The trump that angels quake to hear,
Thrilled from the deep dark cloud;

5 So, when the Spirit of our God

Came down His flock to find,

A voice from heaven was heard abroad, A rushing mighty wind.

6 It fills the Church of God, it fills

The sinful world around;
Only in stubborn hearts and wills
No place for it is found.

7 Come, Lord,come Wisdom, Love, and Power Open our ears to hear;

Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring eye-sight on our eyes.

2 Still we wait for Thine appearing;
Life and joy Thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor benighted heart:
Come, and manifest the favor

God hath for our ransomed race;
Come, Thou glorious God and Saviour,
Come, and bring the gospel-grace.
3 Save us in Thy great compassion,
O thou mild, pacific Prince,,
Give the knowledge of salvation,
Give the pardon of our sins;
By Thine all-restoring merit,

Every burdened soul release, Every weary, wandering spirit Guide into Thy perfect peace.

Rev. Charles Wesley. 174%

2 Breathe, O breathe, Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast;

Let us all in Thee inherit,

Let us find that second rest; Take away our power of sinning, Alpha and Omega be,

End of faith, as its beginning,

Set our hearts at liberty.

3 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing,

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

4 Finish then Thy new creation,

Pure, and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Rev. Charles Wesley. 1747. sl. alt.

The Spirit still given.

1 DAY divine, when sudden streaming
To the Lord's first lovers came
Glory new and treasures teeming,
Mighty gifts and tongues of flame!
Day to happy souls commended,

When the Holy Ghost was given,
When the Comforter descended,

And brought down the joy of heave..!

2 Hath the Holy Ghost been holden By those ancient saints alone? Only may the ages olden

Call the Comforter their own? Wonders we may not inherit,

Signs and tongues we may not crave; Yet we still receive the Spirit,

Still the Comforter we have.

3 Sure the Holy Ghost is dwelling
With the souls that holier grow;
Signs most glorious, all excelling,
Witness brightest we may show:
Hope that makes ashamed never,
Perfect peace that passeth thought,
Mighty joy that stayeth ever,
Love Divine that changeth not.

Thomas Hornblower Gill. (1319-) 1860. n'A
