2 To distant realms the word convey,
Let isles remote his laws obey;
To Gentile, Turk, and stubborn Jew,
O God of grace! salvation shew.
Cho. The Son, &c.

3 Where'er thy sun or light arise,
The name of Christ immortalize!
May nations yet unborn confess
His wisdom, pow'r, and righteousness.
Cho. The Son of God shall rule and reign,
Let every creature say-Amen.

YET

PART II.

Medway 385.

ET a few years, or days perhaps, Or moments, pass in silent lapse, And time to me shall be no more; No more the sun these eyes shall view; Earth o'er these limbs her dust shall strew; And life's fantastic dream be o'er. 2 Alas, I touch the dreadful brink ; From nature's verge impell'd, I sink! And gloomy darkness wraps me round! Yes!-Death is ever at my hand, Fast by my bed he takes his stand,

And constant at my board is found! 3 But then, this spark that warms, that guides, That lives, that thinks-what fate betides? Can this be dust?—a kneaded clod!This yield to death! the soul, the mind, That measures heaven, and mounts the wind, That knows at once itself and God!

4 Great Cause of all, above, below,-
Who knows thee, must for ever know
Thou art immortal and divine!
Thine image on my soul imprest,
Of endless being is the test,
And bids eternity be mine!

5 [Transporting thought!- but am I sure
That endless life will joy secure?
Joys only to the just decreed !—
The guilty wretch, expiring, goes
Where vengeance endless life bestows,
That endless misery may succeed!]

REJOICE; Messiah reigns

Among the sons of men:

He breaks the pris'ners chains, And makes them free again: Let hell oppose God's only Son, In spite of foes his cause goes on. 2 All power is in his hand,

His people to defend;

To his most high command,

Shall millions more attend:

All heaven with smiles approves his cause, And distant isles receive his laws. 3 This little seed from heaven

Shall soon become a tree;

This ever-blessed leaven

Diffus'd abroad must be:

"Till God the Son shall come again, It must go on. Amen! Amen!

COME

OME every pious heart

That loves the Saviour's name,

Your noblest

powers exert

To celebrate his fame:

Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
2 He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:
What he endur'd, O who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell.
3 From the dark grave he rose,

311.

The mansion of the dead;

And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:

Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

The Name of Jesus precious.

PART II.

Finsbury Chapel 489.

1 LET earth and heav'n agree,
Angels and men be join'd,

To celebrate with me

The Saviour of mankind!

T'adore the great atoning Lamb,

And bless the sound of Jesu's name.

2 Jesus! transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven:
No other help is found,

No other name is giv'n,

By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.

3 Jesus! harmonious name!

It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim,

And wonder at his love:
"Tis all their happiness to gaze,
"Tis heav'n to see our Jesu's face.

4 His name the sinner hears,
And is from guilt set free:
"Tis music in his ears,

"Tis life and victory:

New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.

Ye mournful souls, be glad!
