A

Coronation Hymn.

C. M.

LL hail the pow'rs of Jesu's name,
Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him Lord of all.

2 Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre,
And as they tune it fall

Before his face who tunes the choir;
And crown him Lord of all.

3 Crown him ye morning stars of light,
Who fix'd this fleeting ball

;

Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown him Lord of all.

4 Crown him ye martyrs of our God,
Who from the altar call;

Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown him Lord of all.

5 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
Ye ransom'd of the fall;

Hail him who sav'd you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.

6 Crown him ye heirs of David's line
Whom David Lord did call ;
The God incarnate! Man divine!
The crowned Lord of all.

7 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall,

4

Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.

8 Let ev'ry tribe, and ev'ry tongue,
That bounds creation's call;
Now shout in universal song,
The crowned Lord of all.

Redeeming Love.

NOW begin the heav'nly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesu's name;

Ye who Jesu's kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love!

2 (Ye who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face;
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love!)

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

4 (Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop--and taste redeeming love !)
5 Welcome all by sin opprest,
Welcome to your Saviour's breast;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love!

7s.

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

7 Hither then your music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful string;
Mortals join the hosts above,
Join to praise redeeming love!

I

Praise to the Almighty Saviour.

11s.

Long for a concert of heavenly praise,
To Jesus the God, the omnipotent Son!
My voice should awake in harmonious lays,
Could it tell half the wonders that Jesus has
done.

2 I'd sing how he left his own palace of light, With robes made of glory, that dress'd him

above
e;

Yet pleas'd with his journey, and swift was his flight,

For he fled on the pinions of infinite love.

3 All hell and its lions stood roaring around, His flesh and his Spirit with malice they tore; While whole worlds of sorrow lay pressing him down,

As vast as the burden of guilt which he bore.

4 Then mention no more of the wrath of a God! Of the lions of hell, and their roaring no more! We lift up our eyes to his shining abode, And our loudest hosannahs his name shall adore.

5 We crown the Triumpher with th' honours he won :

Hosannah, through all the celestial groves! The God and the man, how he fills up his throne!

How he sits, how he shines, how he looks, how he loves!

6 O happy ye heavens, and happy ye hills;
He treads with his feet, and diffuses his grace!
While mercy and majesty, glories and smiles,
Play gently around the sweet air of his face.

7 Amidst the full choir of archangels and songs, The mighty redeemer eternally reigns: Whilst the sound of his name from a million of tongues,

Flies o'er the bright mountains, and blesses the plains.

LE

Salvation in Christ.

ET earth and heav'n agree,
Angels and men be join'd,

To celebrate with me

The Saviour of mankind! T'adore the great atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus name.

2 Jesus! transporting sound! The joy of earth and heav'n : No other help is found,

No other name is given,

By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.

3 Jesus! harmonious name!

It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim,

And wonder at his love:
"Tis all their happiness to gaze;
"Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face.

4 His name the sinner hears, And is from guilt set free ; "Tis music in his ears,

'Tis life and victory:

New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.
