Behold the temple's glory come!
The God of glory fills the dome!
Arife and fine, O Zion, now!
Meffiah comes to pay his vow!

4 Meffiah loves his people all;

[ocr errors]

He loves them now, and ever shall;
His hand the meek fhall raife on high,
And with falvation beautify:

5 He'll make his faints eternally,
In glory, reign with him on high
Ev'n while they fleep on beds of daft,
Their fpirits fing among the juft:
6 But when they rife, O joyful day!
Their refurrection fhall display
The glory which cannot be told!
The glory which we shall behold!
The praifes high of God, their King,
They in their mouth aloud fhall fing:
Their hands fhall wield a two-edg'd fword,
The mighty word of God the Lord;
ys ball

7 To execute the vengeance due
On all the lewd, ungodly crew,
Who trampled on the Son of God,
And vilify'd his facred blood;

8 To bind their kings with weighty chains,
And fill their loins with heavy pains;
To fetter their proud nobles down,
Who rofe and rag'd against THE SON;

[ocr errors]

To fit in judgment with the Lord,
And judge them by the written word:
This prize have all the faints of God!
High hallelujah's found aloud!

PSALM

PSALM CL.

HALLELUJAH.

O Zion, Zion, now rejoice;
Lift up thy head, lift up thy voice:
See, fee the fhadows all decline!
King Jesus fhines thy Light divine!

HT 10

I SING hallelujah to your God;
High hallelujahs found aloud!
Praife, praise him in his holiness;
Heav'ns of his pow'r, his praise express:
2 Praise him for all his glorious ways,
His mighty acts of glorious praife;
While ye his glorious greatnefs tell,
His glory let your mufic fwell:

3 O praise him with the trumpet's found;
Let vaulted heav'n to earth rebound;
Bring, bring the harp and pfalt'ry nigh,
And tune them to his praffes high:

4 Praise him with timbrel, dance, and pipe;
Let holy virgins lightly trip;

Let folemn-founding organs blow,
And all the pow'rs of mufic flow:

5 Praife him on cymbals, founding foud,
On cymbals, high-founding to God,
Exalt bis praife, exalt his fame:
Let Zion glory in his name.
6 Let Zion well obferve each fign,
And look for glory more divine;
Thefe figus but for a feafon ftay,
Till fhadows break, and fly away

Behold, the gofpel-day is near,
When God in glory fhall appear:
Meffiah comes! Go, meet your King!
Judah, be glad, and Zion, fing!

Loud hallelujahs to our King.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again 1 fay,
Rejoice. Phil. iv. 4.

REJOICE, ye faints, in Christ your Lord,

By whom the heav'ns and earth were made, Jehovah's true Eternal Word,

For ever in his name be glad.
The fulness of the earth below,

Sun, moon, and stars, in heav'n above,
And feas, whose waves he made to flow,
Proclaim his glory and his love.
Govern'd are they, upheld, and mov'd,
By Zion's great Almighty King;
Rejoice in him, his children lov'd,
And of his tender mercies fing.
Lo, all in Adam finn'd and dy'd,
The figure of our Living Head;
But fov'reign grace is magnify'd,
In quick'ning of his chofen feed.
Though you, by Adam's one offence,
Were justly doom'd to endless pain;
Rejoice, through Chrift's obedience,
Grace to eternal life doth reign.
Your random-price is fully told;
For Chrift the law did magnify;
God's Lamb was flain; his blood, behold,
For ever pleads your liberty.

Triumph, your King exalted reigns;
All pow'r in heav'n and earth are his;
Jehovah's whole perfection fhines,
Expreffed bright in Jefus' face!
Rejoice in bearing now the cross;
Your pattern he did fo ordain,

And bore it firft, tho' Lord of Hofts,
Your crown of glory to obtain.
