Lur Eoi.

8 Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the Name that is dear;
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
f 5 0 worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him, the Lord is His name.
J. S. B. Monsell.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power.-REV. iv. 11.

LORY to God on high !

Let earth to heaven reply, 'Praise ye His name': Angels His love adore, Who all our sorrows bore; And saints cry evermore, 'Worthy the Lamb!'

2 All they around the throne Cheerfully join in one,

Praising His name :

We, who have felt His blood Sealing our peace with God, Spread His dear fame abroad; 'Worthy the Lamb!'

3 Join, all the ransomed race,

Our Lord and God to bless :

Praise ye His name :

In Him we will rejoice,
Making a cheerful noise,

Shouting with heart and voice,
'Worthy the Lamb!'

4 Though we must change our place, Yet shall we never cease

Praising His name;

To Him we'll tribute bring,
Hail Him our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,
'Worthy the Lamb!'

A great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Hallelujah.-REV. xix. 1.

f1S citizens of heaven, and sweetly raise
ING Hallelujah forth in duteous praise,

An endless Hallelujah.

2 Ye next, who stand before the eternal Light,
In hymning choirs re-echo to the height
An endless Hallelujah.

3 The Holy City shall take up your strain,
And, with glad songs resounding, wake again
An endless Hallelujah.

4 In blissful answering strains ye thus rejoice
To render to the Lord with thankful voice
An endless Hallelujah.

5 Ye who have gained at length your palms in bliss,
Victorious ones, your chant shall still be this,
An endless Hallelujah.

6 There, in one glad acclaim, for ever ring
The strains which tell the honour of your King,
An endless Hallelujah.

7 While Thee, by whom were all things made, we praise
For ever, and tell out in sweetest lays

An endless Hallelujah.

8 Almighty Christ, to Thee our voices sing
Glory for evermore; to Thee we bring
An endless Hallelujah.

Old Bundredtb.

Latin hymn, tr. J. Ellerton.

PSALM CXVii.

OM all that dwell below the skies,

1 Let the Creator's praise arise;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends Thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suus shall rise and set no more.

I. Watts.

A-men.

✓ 1 COME, let us join our cheerful songs

With angels round the throne;

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

2 Worthy the Lamb that died,' they cry,
To be exalted thus';
'Worthy the Lamb,' our lips reply,
'For He was slain for us.'

3 Jesus is worthy to receive

Honour and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise;

5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
I. Watts.

23 Greater love hath no man than

this.-JOHN XV. 13.

f1awake the sacred song;

our Redeemer's glorious name

O may His love-immortal flame-
Tune every heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach,
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.

3 Let wonder still with love unite,
And gratitude and joy;
Jesus be our supreme delight,
His praise our best employ.

p 4 Jesus, who left His throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die!
Was ever love like this?

cr 5 0 may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill every heart and tongue;

Till strangers love Thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.

Anne Steele.
