2 Slain to redeem us by his blood, To cleanse from every sinful stain, And make us kings and priests to God"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain !" 3 To him, enthroned by filial right, All power in heaven and earth proclaim, Honor, and majesty, and might: "Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain !" 4 Long as we live, and when we die, And while in heaven with him we reign: This song, our song of songs shall be: Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain !" chant the solemn lay:-"Lift up your heads,.... ye heav'nly gates! Ye ever-last-ing doors! give way! Who is this King of glory-who? The Lord who all our foes o'ercame; Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the conqueror's name. 3 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay:"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors! give way." Who is this King of glory-who? The Lord of boundless power possessed; The King of saints and angels, too, God over all, for ever blessed. 344 H. M. "The Debt of Love." ANON. S. STENNETT. That loves the Saviour's name, To celebrate his fame; 2 He left his starry crown, On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died; What he endured, oh, who can tell, To save our souls from death and hell? 3 From the dark grave he rose, 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. Psalm 45. I. WATTS. 345. L. M. 2 At his right hand, our eyes behold 3 Oh, happy hour, when thou shalt rise C. M. D. "The Fairest Face." P. STRYKER. 346 2 I saw his face, the fairest face I longed the Saviour to embrace, 3 I felt his love, the strongest love And knew the joy of heaven, C. M. Psalm 47. Он, for a shout of sacred joy 1. WATTS. To God, the sovereign King; Let every land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing. 2 Jesus, our God, ascends on high, His heavenly guards around Psalm 71. I. WATTS. My Saviour! my almighty Friend: Where will the growing numbers end,- 2 Thou art my everlasting trust; 3 My feet shall travel all the length And march, with courage, in thy strength, 4 How will my lips rejoice to tell C. M. P. DODDRIDGE 349 2 Though raised to a superior throne, With matchless honors crowned; 3 The names of all his saints he bears Engraven on his heart; Nor shall a name once treasured there 4 So, gracious Saviour! on my breast "Inward Teachings." ETERNAL Spirit, we confess 1. WATTS. And sing the wonders of thy grace: Thy power conveys our blesssings down From God the Father and the Son. 2 Enlightened by thy heavenly ray, 3 Thy power and glory work within, COME, O Creator Spirit blest! 2 Great Comforter! to thee we cry; 3 Kindle our senses from above, 4 Far from us drive the foe we dread, 352 "The book unfold." B. BEDDOME. COME, blesséd Spirit! source of light! 2 To mine illumined eyes, display The glorious truths thy word reveals; Cause me to run the heavenly way, Thy book unfold, and loose the seals. 3 Thine inward teachings make me know The mysteries of redeeming love, The vanity of things below, And excellence of things above. 4 While through this dubious maze I stray, Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad, To show the dangers of the way, And guide my feeble steps to God. 353 Spirit of grace. P. DODDRIDGE. CомE, sacred Spirit, from above, 2 Speak thou, and from the haughtiest eyes 3 Oh, let a holy flock await |
