HYMN 211. L. M. [#]
Universal Triumph of Christ.
1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For this shall constant prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head : His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.
4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoner leaps to loose his chains; The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Where he displays his healing power Death and the curse are known no more: In him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost.
6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to their King, Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the long Amen.
HYMN 212. 7s. M. [#] Christ's Triumph.
1 HARK! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore ;- Hallelujah to the Lord!
God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah!—hark! the sound,
Heard through earth, and through the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies: See Jehovah's banner furled,
Sheathed his sword; he speaks,-'tis done! And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.
3 He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway;
He shall reign when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens are passed away : Then the end ;-beneath his rod Man's last enemy shall fall : Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ, is all in all.
HYMN 213. C. M. [#]
Coronation of Christ. 1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall: Bring forth the royal diadem, And own him Lord of all.
2 Ye wandering seed of Israel's race, A remnant weak and small,
Praise him who saves you by his grace, And own him Lord of all.
3 Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall; Go, spread your trophies at his feet, And own him Lord of all.
4 Babes, men, and sires, who know his love, Who feel your sin and thrall, Now join with all the hosts above, And own him Lord of all.
5 And when with yonder sacred throng We at his feet shall fall,
We'll chant the everlasting song, And own him Lord of all.
HYMN 214. L. M. [#] Ascriptions to Christ.
1 Lo, what enraptured songs of praise
Resound through heaven to Christ the Lamb! Adoring angels on him
And swell the golden trump of fame.
2 Amid his smiles and glories bright Transported millions round him bend, And, robed in life's primeval light, The honours of his cross extend.
3 Salvation to the Lamb, they cry,
That sits upon the shining throne, Who once for sinful men did die, That he might seek and bring them home.
4 Hosanna! all have joined the song, In heaven, in earth, and in the seas; Salvation sounds from every tongue In swelling notes of ceaseless praise.
HYMN 215. C. M. [#]
Redeemer's Praise.
1 O, FOR a thousand tongues, to sing My dear Redeemer's praise, The glories of my Lord and King, The triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus, the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease,-
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
"Tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, ye deaf: his praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ : Ye blind, behold your Saviour come, And leap, ye lame, for joy.
1 YE servants of Christ, Your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad
His wonderful name: The name all-victorious Of Jesus extol ; His kingdom is glorious, And rules over all.
2 He 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.
3 Then let us adore,
And give him his right, All glory and power, And wisdom and might;
