Tune-St. James, 146.

"He is Lord of all."

ALL hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

To crown Him Lord of all.

2 Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre, And, as they tune it, fall

Before His face who tunes their choir,
And crown Him Lord of all.

3 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown Him Lord of all.

4 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

Ye ransomed of the Fall,

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him Lord of all.

5 Sinners! whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall,

Go, spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all.

4.5.

Tune-Waldheim, 262.

"He is able to save to the uttermost."
ORD of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light,
Maker, Teacher, Infinite,-

Jesus, hear and save!

2 Mighty Monarch, Saviour mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled,-
Jesus, hear and save!

3 Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Lord of lords, and King of kings,-
Jesus, hear and save!

4 Who shall yet return from high,
Robed in might and majesty,
Hear us, help us when we cry,-
Jesus, hear and save!

Tune-Eisenach, 16.

2 He sent no angel to our race, Of higher or of lower place,

OUR LORD'S ASCENSION.

But wore the robe of human frame
Himself, and to this lost world came.

3 Nor willed He only to appear;
His pleasure was to tarry here;
And God-and-man with man would be
The space of thirty years and three.

4 For us He was baptized, and bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.

5 For us He prayed, for us He taught,
For us His daily works He wrought;
By words, and signs, and actions, thus
Still seeking not Himself, but us.

6 For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us at length gave up His breath.

7 For us He rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us He sent His Spirit here,
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

8 To Him whose boundless love has won
Salvation for us through His Son,
To God the Father glory be,
Both now and through eternity.

2 Lamb of God, to Thee I cry;
By Thy bitter agony,

By Thy pangs, to us unknown,
By Thy spirit's parting groan,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

3 Prince of Life, to Thee I cry;
By Thy glorious majesty,
By Thy triumph o'er the grave,
Meek to suffer, strong to save,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

4 Lord of Glory, God most high,
Man exalted to the sky,
With Thy love my bosom fill,
Prompt me to perform Thy will;
Then Thy glory I shall see,
Thou wilt bring me home to Thee.

LORD, as to Thy dear cross we flee,

And plead to be forgiven,

So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.

2 Help us, through good report and ill, Our daily cross to bear;

Like Thee, to do our Father's will, Our brethren's griefs to share.

3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine,

And kindness in our bosoms dwell,
As free and true as Thine.

4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,

And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, Father, Thy will be done!

C.M.

5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame, Or brethren faithless prove,

Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.

6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven,

O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow Thee to heaven!

OUR LORD'S SECOND COMING.

Tune-Ely Place, 55.

L.M.

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God."

WHEN

Jesus came to earth of old, He came in weakness and in woe; He wore no form of angel mould,

But took our nature, poor and low.

2 But when He cometh back once more, There shall be set the great white throne; And earth and heaven shall flee before The face of Him that sits thereon.

3 O Son of God in glory crowned,

The Judge ordained of quick and dead!
O Son of man, so pitying found,
For all the tears Thy people shed!

4 Be with us in this darkened place,
This weary, restless, dangerous night;
And teach, O teach us by Thy grace
To struggle onward into light!

5 And since in God's recording book
Our sins are written every one-

The crime, the wrath, the wandering look,
The good we knew and left undone-

6 Lord, ere the last dread trump be heard,
And ere before Thy face we stand,
Look Thou on each accusing word,
And blot it with Thy bleeding hand.

THE

HE Lord will come, the earth shall quake,
The hills their fixèd seat forsake,
And, withering from the vault of night,
The stars withdraw their feeble light.

2 The Lord will come; but not the same
As once in lowly form He came,
A silent Lamb to slaughter led,
The bruised, the suffering, and the dead.

3 The Lord will come, a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame and robe of storm,
On cherub wings and wings of wind,
Appointed Judge of humankind.

4 Can this be He who wont to stray
A pilgrim on the world's highway;

By power oppressed, and mocked by prideThe Nazarene, the Crucified?

5 Go, tyrants! to the rocks complain;
Go, seek the mountain's cleft in vain;
But faith, victorious o'er the tomb,
Shall sing for joy, "The Lord is come!"

Tune-Holywood, 342.

8,7,8,7,4,7.

"Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.'

1 Lo

O! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Halleluiah!

God appears on earth to reign.

2 Every eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Every island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away;
All who hate Him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment !
Come to judgment, come away!

4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!

[graphic][subsumed][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

O come quickly!

Everlasting God, come down!

4 With that blessèd hope before us, Let no harp remain unstrung;

Let the mighty advent-chorus

Onward roll from tongue to tongue:

Christ is coming!

Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!

1 ᎠᏎ

"The great and terrible day of the Lord." AY of wrath! O day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning! Heaven and earth in ashes burning!

2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth !

3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth.

4 Death is struck, and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,

To its Judge an answer making.
5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded!
Thence shall judgment be awarded.

6 When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.

7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading,
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
