7 Thine is the kingdom, thine the pow'r Thy kingdom come; thy will be

O'er angels, and o'er men ;

The glory too for evermore Is thine; Amen, Amen!

200. T. 166.

OUR Father, who in heaven art, Hallow'd be thy most blessed name;

done

Always in heav'n and earth the

same;

Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive our sins, as we forgive;
Into temptation do not lead,
But full release from evil give.

XI. Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

T. 22.

201. [abroad, BEFORE the heav'ns were stretch'd From everlasting was the Word ;With God he was, the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd.

2 By his own pow'r were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's Head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth, how full of grace Was Christ in whom the Godhead

shone!

4 Archangels left their high abode,
To learn new myst'ries here & tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.

song shall bless the Lord of all, My praise ascend to his abode : Thee, Saviour, by that name I call, The great, supreme, the mighty God! 2 Without beginning or decline,

Object of faith, and not of sense; Eternal ages saw him shine,

He shines eternal ages hence. 3 As much, when in the manger laid,

Almighty Ruler of the sky, As when the six days work he made Fill'd all the morning-stars with joy. 4 Of all the crowns Jehovah bears,

Salvation is his dearest claim ;

[blocks in formation]

The angels and elders before him fall

down,

With accents melodious him praising; Unto the Lamb slain, and to him on the throne,

They render glory unceasing.

4 The church on earth in humble
Exalteth Christ our Saviour; [strain,
She sings, "The Lamb for us was slain,
Our foe is cast for ever;
For Christ hath redeem'd us by his
precious blood

Out of ev'ry nation and kindred, And made us thereby kings and priests) unto God,

To him thanksgiving be render'd."
5 When Christ shall come, in majesty,
With all his bright attendance,
And as the Judge in equity

On men pass final sentence: [dread,
Then shall all his enemies quaking with
Wish mountains and rocks them to
cover;

The ransom'd with gladness will lift up their head,

And live with Jesus for ever.

204. T. 14.

O THE delights, the heav'nly joys,
The glories of the place,
Where Jesus sheds the brightest beams
Of his o'erflowing grace!

2 Sweet majesty and awful love
Sit smiling on his brow,
And all the glorious ranks above
At humble distance bow.

3 Princes to his imperial name
Bend their bright sceptres down:
Dominions, thrones, and pow'rs rejoice
To see him wear the crown.

4 Upon that dear majestic head
That cruel thorns did wound,
See what immortal glories shine
And circle it around!

5 This is the Man, th' exalted Man,
Whom we unseen adore;
But when our eyes shall see his face,
Our hearts shall love him more.

205. T. 341.
WORTHY, O Lord, art thou,
That ev'ry knee should bow,
Ev'ry tongue to thee confess;
Universal nature join,
Strong and mighty thee to bless,
Gracious, merciful, benign!

2 Hail your dread Lord and ours, Dominions, thrones and pow'rs! Source of pow'r he rules alone:

Veil your faces, prostrate fall,
Cast your crowns before his throne,
Hail the Cause, the Lord of all!

3 Justice and truth maintain
Thy everlasting reign;
One with thine almighty Sire,
Partner of an equal throne ;
King of kings, let all conspite
Gratefully thy sway to own.
4 Jesus, thou art my King,
To me thy succor bring.
Christ the mighty One art thou,
Help for all on thee is laid:
This thy promise claim I now,
Send me down the promis'd aid.
5 Triumph and reign in me,
And spread thy victory:
Sin, and death, and hell control,
Pride and self, and ev'ry foe;
All subdue, thro' all
my soul,
Conqu❜ring and to conquer go.

206.* T. 97.

THOU reign'st above on heaven's

throne,

The Father's Equal, God the Son;
The Holy Ghost to us displays
Thy majesty and boundless grace,
And in the Scriptures clearly doth ex-
plain,

That thou, Lord, madest, and redeem-
edst man.

2 With awe and reverence 'fore thee,
And at thy name we bow the knee,
As all in earth and heaven join,
T' extol thy majesty divine,
And thee, to God the Father's glory, call
The great Jehovah, mighty Lord of all.

'Fore him must bow.

3 Of this great truth we boldly witness bear,

And to mankind this doctrine will declare,

That he, who to save us assum❜d our nature

To sin, and Satan's pow'r;

But with an outstretch'd arm, he saves,
In his appointed hour.

6 The Holy Ghost he sends

Our stubborn souls to move,
To make his enemies his friends,
And conquer them by love.

The love of sin departs,

Soon as his voice invites our hearts
The life of grace takes place,
To rise and seek his face.

8

The world and Satan rage,
But he their pow'r controls;
His wisdom, love and truth engage
Protection for our souls.

9

Tho' press'd, we need not yield,
But shall prevail at length,
For Jesus is our Sun and Shield,

Our Righteousness and Strength. 10 Assur'd that Christ our King

Will put our foes to flight,
We on the field of battle sing,
And triumph while we fight.

210. T. 595.

And suffer'd on the cross, is the Crea- HOSANNA to the Son

tor

Of heav'n and earth.

209. T. 595.

PREPARE a thankful song

To the Redeemer's name!

His praises should employ each tongue,
And ev'ry heart inflame.

Of David, and of God,

Who brought the news of pardon down,

And seal'd it with his blood.

2 To Christ, th' anointed King,
Be endless blessings giv'n;
Let the whole earth his glory sing,

Who made our peace with heav'n.

THOU Maker of each creature,
The Father's arm and might,
Thou rulest o'er all nature,
In thy own name and right.
May we in ev'ry station
Enjoy thy great salvation,
And simply follow thee.

2 Lord, let us be increasing
In love and knowledge too;
That we, on thee believing,

In spirit serve thee so,
As in our hearts to savor
Thy matchless grace and favor,
And always for thee thirst.

213.* T. 68.
JESUS, who with thee
Can compared be?
Source of rest and consolation,
Life and light, and full salvation:
Son of God, with thee
None compar'd can be!

2 Life! thou dyd'st for me,
From all misery

And distress me to deliver,
And from death to save for ever:
I am by thy blood
Reconcil'd to God.
