The world shall know,
Great King of kings,
What wondrous things
Thine arm can do.

3 Here too my waiting soul,
Bend thy triumphant way;
Here every foe control,
And all thy power display.
My heart, thy throne,
Blest Jesus see,
Submit to Thee,

To Thee alone.

229.

Jehovah Jesus.

1 My song shall bless the Lord of all,
My praise shall climb to his abode ;
Thee, Saviour, by that name I call,
The great Supreme, the mighty God.
2 Without beginning or decline,
Object of faith, and not of sense;
Eternal ages saw Him shine,
He shines eternal ages hence.

3 As much when in the manger laid,
Almighty Ruler of the sky,

As when the six days' work He made
Fill'd all the morning stars with joy.

4 Of all the crowns Jehovah bears,
Salvation is his dearest claim :

That gracious sound well-pleased He hears, And owns Emmanuel for his name.

5 A cheerful confidence I feel,

My well-placed hopes with joy I see;
My bosom glows with heavenly zeal
To worship Him who died for me.
6 As man He pities my complaint,
His power and truth are all divine;

He will not fail, He cannot faint,
Salvation's sure, and must be mine.

230.

Christ the Lord of all.

1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall:
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

2 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God, Who from His altar call;

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

3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small;
Hail Him who saves you by his grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.

4 Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.

5 Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

60 that with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall;
There join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!

231.

The Song of the Redeemed.

WHAT a rapturous song,

When the glorified throng
In the spirit of harmony join!
Join all the glad choirs,

Hearts, voices, and lyres;

And the burden is "Mercy divine!"

2

Hallelujah! they cry,

To the King of the sky,

To the great everlasting I AM;
To the Lamb that was slain,
And liveth again;

Hallelujah to God and the Lamb!

3 The Lamb on the throne,

4

Lo! He dwells with his own,
And to rivers of pleasure He leads;
With his mercy's full blaze,

With the sight of his face,
Our beatified spirits He feeds.

Our foreheads proclaim
His ineffable name,

Our bodies his glory display;

A day without night,
We feast in his sight,

And eternity seems as a day!
