What though, high their shadows rearing,
Clouds and darkness vail his throne?
Truth, in all his ways appearing,

Tells us-he is Christ alone.

2 Heaven his glory is revealing,

Farthest worlds confess his sway;
Millions, at his altar kneeling,
Cast their idol-bonds away.
Salem hears exulting Salem

Hears, and of his judgments sings,
While, with joy, her daughters hail him
Lord of lords, and King of kings.

The Dominion of Jesus. Phil. ii. 10.
ES-mighty Jesus, thou shalt reign,
Till all thy haughty foes submit;
Till hell, and all her trembling train,
Become the footstool of thy feet.
2 Then rescued souls shall bless thy power;
Thy arm shall full salvation bring:
Thy saints, in that illustrious hour,

L. M.

Shall conquer with their conquering King.
8 And when, through brilliant gates of gold,
Thou lead'st thy chosen to the skies,
May we the shining pomp behold,
And partners of the triumph rise.

4 Then, ranged thy blazing throne around,
The Saviour's honors we 'll proclaim;
While heaven's transported realms resound
Thy mighty deeds and glorious name.
507 "He shall reign." Rev. xi. 15.
1 HARK: the song of Jubilee

Loud as mighty thunders roar,

Or the fullness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore. 2 Hallelujah! for the Lord,

God Omnipotent, shall reign: Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

3 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the centre to the skies,

More.

7s

Wakes, above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies.

4 See Jehovah's banners furled,

Sheathed his sword! he speaks-'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.

5 He shall reign from pole to pole,
With illimitable sway:

He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away.
6 Then the end-beneath his rod
Man's last enemy shall fall :
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.

Rejoice in the Lord. Ps. ii. 6.

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.

Rejoice, the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains,

Montgomery.

He took his seat above. Lift up, &c.

His kingdom cannot fail,

He rules o'er earth and heaven;

The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given. Lift up, &c.

H. M.

4

He all his foes shall quell,

Shall all our sins destroy,

And every bosom swell

With pure seraphic joy. Lift up, &c.

5 Rejoice in glorious hope;

Jesus, the Judge, shall come,

And take his servants up

To their eternal home.

We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice,
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice. Rippon.

Christ a Conqueror. Ps. xlv. 4.

1 JESUS, immortal King, arise;
Assert thy rightful sway,

Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings,
And distant lands obey.

2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride
Till all thy foes submit,
And all the powers of hell resign
Their trophies at thy feet.

3 Send forth thy word, and let it fly
The spacious earth around;
Till every soul beneath the sun
Shall hear the joyful sound.

4 From sea to sea-from shore to shore,
May Jesus be adored;

And earth, with all her millions, shout
Hosanna to the Lord.

the ransomed millions stand,
Palms of conquest in their hand;
This before the throne their strain-
Hell is vanquished, death is slain.
2 Blessing, honor, glory, might,
Are the Conqueror's native right;
Thrones and powers before him fall,
Lamb of God, and Lord of all.

Triumphs of the Gospel.

GIRD on, great God, thy sword,
Ascend thy conquering car,

While justice, truth, and love,
Maintain the holy war ;

Victorious thou thy foes shalt tread,
And sin and hell in triumph lead.

Make bare thy potent arm,
And wing th' unerring dart,
With salutary pangs,

To each rebellious heart:

Then dying souls for life shall sue,
Numerous as drops of morning dew.

Beneath thy sceptre bend;
And peace her olive-branch
And balmy wings extend;
The dews of heaven enrich the ground,
And Paradise shall bloom around.

512 The latter-day Glory. Mic. iv. 1—5.

1 BEHOLD, the mountain of the Lord, In latter days, shall rise

On mountain tops, above the hills, And draw the wond'ring eyes. 2 To this the joyful nations round, All tribes and tongues, shall flow; Up to the hill of God," they say, "And to his house we'll go."

3 The beams that shine on Zion's hill
Shall lighten every land;

The King who reigns in Salem's towers
Shall all the world command.

4 No longer hosts encountering hosts,
Their millions slain deplore;
They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.

5 Come, then-oh come from every land,

To worship at his shrine :

And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

Increase of the Church. Isa. lx. 5, 6.

1 RISE, gracious God, and shine In all thy saving might;

And prosper each design

To spread thy glorious light:
Let healing streams of mercy flow,

That all the earth thy truth may know.

Oh bring the nations near,

That they may sing thy praise :

Let all the people hear,

And learn thy holy ways:

Reign, mighty God, assert thy cause,

And govern by thy righteous laws.

And earth present her store

And earth shall yield her full increase.

Jesus reigns.

AKE the song of jubilee,
Let it echo o'er the sea.
Now is come the promised hour;
Jesus reigns with sovereign power.
2 All ye nations, join and sing,

"Christ of lords and kings is King."
Let it sound from shore to shore-
Jesus reigns for evermore.

Now the desert lands rejoice,
And the islands join their voice;
Yea, the whole creation sings-
"Jesus is the King of kings!"

1 LORD of all worlds, incline thy bounteous ear;

Bear thy bless'd promise, fixed as hills, in mind, And shed renewing grace on lost mankind; Oh let thy Spirit like soft dews descend; Thy gospel run to earth's remotest end. 2 Let Zion's walls before thee ceaseless stand, Dear as thine eye, and graven on thy hand; From earth's far regions Jacob's sons restore, Oppressed by man and scourged by thee no more, Enriched with gold, adorned with heavenly grace, Truth their sole guide, and all their pleasure praise. 3 Then Satan's kingdom shall from earth retire, Dead forms dissolve, and furious zeal expire; The beast's fell throne shall darkness dire surround; Mohammed's empire crumble to the ground; The dreams of infidels in smoke decay, And all the foes of heaven shall fleet away. 4 In barren wilds shall living waters spring, Fair temples rise, and songs of transport ring;
