2 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold the' ethereal scene; He claims these mansions as his right, Receive the King of Glory in. Who is the King of Glory? Who? The Lord that all our foes o'ercame : The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew, And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. 3 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,

[ocr errors]

And angels chant the solemn lay; Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; Ye everlasting doors give way. Who is the King of Glory? Who? The Lord of glorious power possest: The King of saints and angels too, God over all for ever blest.

HYMN 555.

4 lines 7's.

On the Second Coming of Christ.
OME, Desire of Nations, come!
Hasten, Lord, the general doom:

Hear the Spirit and the Bride;
Come, and take us to thy side.
2 Thou, who hast our place prepar'd,
Make us meet for our reward;
Then with all thy saints descend;
Then our earthly trials end.
3 Mindful of thy chosen race,
Shorten these vindictive days;
Who for full redemption groan,
Hear us now, and save thine own.
4 Now destroy the map of sin;
Now thine ancient flock bring in!'
Fill'd with righteousness divine,
Claim a ransom'd world for thine.
5 Plant thy heavenly kingdom here,
Glorious in thy saints appear;

Speak the sacred number seal'd: Speak the mytery reveal'd. 6 Take to thee thy royal power; Reign, when sin shall be no more; Reign, when death no more shall be ; Reign to all eternity.

HYMN 556.

8 lines 7's & 6's.

1 NO the hills I lift mine eyes,
The everlasting bills;

Streaming thence in fresh supplies,
My soul the Spirit feels :
Will he not his help afford?

Help, while yet I ask, is given: God comes down: the God and Lord That made both earth and heaven. 2 Faithful soul, pray always; pray, And still in God confide:

He thy feeble steps shall stay,
Nor suffer thee to slide;
Lean on thy Redeemer's breast;
He thy quiet spirit keeps ;
Rest in him, securely rest;
Thy watchman never sleeps..

3 Neither sin, nor earth, nor hell
Thy Keeper can surprise;
Careless slumbers cannot steal
On his all-seeing eyes;
He is Israel's sure defence;
Israel all his care shall prove;
Kept by watchful providence,
And ever-waking love.

4 See the Lord, thy Keeper, stand
Omnipotently near:

Lo! he holds thee by thy hand,

And banishes thy fear:

Shadows with his wings thy head ;
Guards from all impending harms;
Round thee and beneath are spread
The everlasting arms.

5 Christ shall bless thy going out,
Shall bless thy coming in;
Kindly compass thee about,
Till thou art sav'd from sin;
Like thy spotless Master, thou,
Fill'd with wisdom, love, and
Holy, pure, and perfect now,
Henceforth and evermore.
HYMN 557. 4 lines 10's.

power;

And publish abroad His wonderful name;
The name all victorious Of Jesus extol,
His kingdom is glorious, And rules over all.
2 The waves of the sea Have lift up their
voice,

Sore troubled that we In Jesus rejoice;
The floods they are roaring, But Jesus is here;
While we are adoring, He always is near.
3 God ruleth on high, Almighty to save,
And still he is nigh, His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.
4 Salvation to God, Who sits on the throne,
Let all cry aloud, And honour the Son;
Our Jesus's praises The angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces, And worship the
Lamb.

5 Then let us adore, And give him his right,
All glory and power, All wisdom and might:
All honour and blessing, With angels above,
And thanks never-ceasing, And infinite love.

6 Come, Lord, and display Thy sign in the sky, And bear us away To mansions on high; The kingdom be given, The purchase divine, And crown us in heaven Eternally thine.

HYMN 558. 2 lines 5's & 1-11.

1 COME, Lord, from above, The

tains remove,

moun

Overturn all that hinders the course of thy love. My bosom inspire, Inkindle the fire.

And wrap my whole soul in the flames of desire.

2 I languish and pine For the comfort divine! O when shall I say, my Beloved is mine? I have chose the good part, My portion thou art,

O Love, let me find thee, O God, in my heart. 3 For this my heart sighs, Nothing else can suffice,

How, Lord, can I purchase the pearl of great

price ?

It cannot be bought, And thou know'st I have

nought,

Not an action, a word, or a truly good thought. 4 But I hear a voice say, "Without money

ye may

Receive it, whoe'er have nothing to pay :
Who on Jesus relies, Without money or price,
The pearl of forgiveness and holiness buys.
5 The blessing is free:"So, Lord, let it be,
I yield that thy love should be given to me.
I freely receive, What thou freely dost give,
And consent in thy love, in thy Eden to live.
6 The gift I embrace, The Giver I praise,
And ascribe my salvation to Jesus's grace :
It comes from above, The foretaste I prove,
And I soon shall receive all the fulness of love.

HYMN 559. C. M.
OD moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines,
Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.

3 His purposes will ripen fast, hour;

Unfolding everý

The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain:
God is his own Interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
HYMN 560.

ORD, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Bid us now depart in peace;
Still on heavenly manna feeding,
Let our faith and love increase:
Fill each breast with consolation;
Up to thee our hearts we raise :
When we reach our blissful station,
Then we'll give thee noble praise.
Hallelujah!
