98 Advent. C. M. 1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come! 2 Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns! While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy. 3 No more let sin and sorrow grow, He comes to make his blessings flow, 4 He rules the world with truth and grace, The glories of his righteousness, 99 S. M. Christ reigning. 1 THE God Jehovah reigns; Let all the nations fear; Let sinners tremble at his throne, And saints be humble there. 2 3 Jesus the Saviour reigns; Let earth adore its Lord; Bright cherubs his attendants stand, Swift to fulfil his word. In Zion is his throne; His honours are divine; His church shall make his wonders known, For there his glories shine. 4 How holy is his name! How terrible his praise!

Public worship. 1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, 2 His sov❜reign power, without our aid, 3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heav'ns our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, 103 Praise for pardoning mercy. 1 MY SOUL, inspir'd with sacred love, L. M. 2['Tis He that all thy sins forgives, 3 The Lord abounds with tender love, 4 God will not always harshly chide, 5 As high as heav'n its arch extends So much his boundless love transcends As far as 'tis from east to west, 7[Let ev'ry creature jointly bless The mighty Lord: and thou, my heart, With grateful joy thy thanks express, And in this concert bear thy part.] |
