5 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway:

g He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away!
-6 Then the end-beneath his rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall:
s Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is All in All.

HYMN 391. L. M.

SING,

Montgomery.

Park Street. [*]

The Redeemer reigns.

ING, for the blest Redeemer reigns,
Thro' distant lands his triumphs spread;
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own him their Saviour and their Head.
-2 His sons and daughters from afar,
Daily at Zion's gates arrive;

Those who were dead in sin before,
By sovereign grace are made alive.
u 3 Oh may his conquests still increase,
And every foe his arm subdue ;
While angels celebrate his praise,
And saints his glowing glories shew.
s 4 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below and all above;
In lofty songs exalt his name,
In songs as lasting as his love.

HYMN 392. 7s. Alcester. [*]
Jesus reigns.

AKE the song of jubilee,

WAK
Let it echo o'er the sea!

Now is come the promised hour;
Jesus reigns with sovereign power!
2 All ye nations, join and sing,
Christ, of lords and kings, is King;
Let it sound from shore to shore,
Jesus reigns for evermore.

3 Now the desert lands rejoice;
And the islands join their voice:
Yea, the whole creation sings,
Jesus is the King of kings.

HYMN 393. 8, 7, & 4. Tamworth. [*]
Encouragement to Missionaries.

1 MEN your state

EN of God! go take your stations!

Darkness reigns throughout the earth

o Go, proclaim among the nations Joyful news of heavenly birth: Bear the tidings

u 1

Of the Saviour's matchless worth!
2 When exposed to fears and dangers,
Jesus will his own defend;

Borne afar midst foes and strangers,
Jesus will appear your Friend;
And his presence-

Shall be with you to the end.

HYMN 394. 7 & 6.

ROLL on,

Kelly.

Romaine. [*]

OLL on, thou mighty ocean!
And as thy billows flow,

Bear messengers of mercy

To every land below.

Arise, ye gales! and waft them

Safe to the destined shore;
That man may sit in darkness,
And death's black shade, no more.
20 thou Eternal Ruler !

Who holdest in thine arm

The tempests of the ocean,

Protect them from all harm!
Thy presence e'er be with them,
Wherever they may be

Though far from us who love them,
Still let them be with thee.

HYMN 395. 7s. Pilgrim. [*]
O! ye messengers of God,

Go

Like the beams of morning, fly;
Take the wonder-working rod,
Wave the Banner-Cross on high!
2 Where th' aspirant minaret
Gleams along the morning skies,
Wave it till the crescent set,
And the "Star of Jacob" rise.
-3 Go! to many a tropic isle,
In the bosom of the deep,
Where the skies for ever smile,
And th' oppressed for ever weep!
-4 O'er the negro's night of care
Pour the living light of heaven;
Chase away the fiend despair,
Bid him hope to be forgiven

s 5 Where the golden gates of day
Open on the palmy east,
Wide the bleeding cross display,
Spread the gospel's richest feast.
-6 Circumnavigate the ball,
Visit every soil and sea:

Preach the cross of Christ to all-
Jesus' love is full and free.

J. Marsden.

HYMN 396. 8, 7, & 4. Tamworth. [*]

Farewell to Missionaries.

s 1 O, ye heralds of salvation,

Go, proclaim redeeming blood;
Publish to that barbarous nation,
Peace and pardon from our God;
Tell the heathen,

None but Christ can do them good.
2 While the gospel trump you're sounding,
May the Spirit seal the word,
And, through sovereign grace abounding,
Heathen bow and own the Lord;
Idols leaving,

God alone shall be adored.

3 Distant though our souls are blending,
Still our hearts are warm and true;
In our prayers to heaven ascending,
Brethren-we'll remember you;
Heaven preserve you,

Safely all your journey through.
4 When your mission here is finished,
And your work on earth is done,
May your souls, by grace replenished,
Find acceptance through the Son;
Thence admitted,

Dwell for ever near his throne.
u 5 Loud hosannas now resounding,
Make the heavenly arches ring:
Grace to sinful men abounding,
Ransomed millions sweetly sing;
While with rapture,

All adore their heavenly King.

Baldwin.

HYMN 397. 8, 7, & 4. Smyrna. [b]

Missionaries' Farewell.

p 1 VES, my native.land, I love thee;

YES

All thy scenes I love them well,

Friends, connexions, happy country!
Can I bid you all farewell?
Can I leave you,

Far in heathen lands to dwell?
2 Home! thy joys are passing lovely;
Joys no stranger-heart can tell!
Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee!
Can I-can I say-Farewell?
Can I leave thee,

Far in heathen lands to dwell?
3 Scenes of sacred peace and pleasure,
Holy days and Sabbath bell,
d Richest, brightest, sweetest treasure!
Can I say a last Farewell?
Can I leave you,'

Far in heathen lands to dwell? s 4 Yes! I hasten from you gladly, From the scenes I love so well! Far away, ye billows, bear me; Lovely native land, farewell! Pleased I leave thee,

Far in heathen lands to dwell.
5 In the deserts let me labour,
On the mountains let me tell,
How he died--the blessed Saviour-
To redeem a world from hell!
Let me hasten

Far in heathen lands to dwell.
6 Bear me on, thou restless ocean;
Let the winds my canvass swell-
Heaves my heart with warm emotion,
While I go far hence to dwell.
Glad I bid thee,

Native land!-Farewell-Farewell!

HYMN 398. L. M. Winchelsea.
Glory awaiting faithful Missionaries.

S. F. Smith.

[*]

81 ETERNAL Lord! from land to land,

Shall echo thine all-glorious name,

Till kingdoms bow at thy command,
And every lip thy praise proclaim.
2 Exalted high, on every shore,
The banner of the cross, unfurled,
Shall summon thousands to adore
The Saviour of a ransomed world.

s 3 Thousands shall join thy pilgrim band,
And, by that sacred standard led,
Press forward to Immanuel's land,
Nor fear the thorny path to tread.
4 Triumphant over every foe,

Their ransomed numbers shall move on,
To that blest world where sin and woe
Shall never mingle with their song.

8 1 ASSEMBLED at thy great command,

Before thy face, dread King, we stand;

The voice that marshalled every star,

Has called thy people from afar.

-2 We meet, through distant lands to spread
The truth for which the martyrs bled;
Along the line-to either pole-
The thunder of thy praise to roll.

3 First bow our hearts beneath thy sway;
Then give thy growing empire way,
O'er wastes of sin-o'er fields of blood-
Till all mankind shall be subdued.

4 Our prayers assist-accept our praise-
Our hopes revive our courage raise-
Our counsels aid-and oh! impart,
The single eye-the faithful heart.

HYMN 400. L. M. Duke Street. [*]
Active Benevolence in Imitation of Christ.

WH

HEN from the glorious realms of day, On wings of love, the Saviour flew, He walked through mercy's heavenly way, And bade the world his steps pursue.

p 2 The blind, the lame, his power confessed; The dumb broke forth in grateful strains; He gave the wearied spirit rest,

[ocr errors]

And loosed the prisoner from his chains.
-3 And shall not they whose lips resound
The matchless deeds the Saviour wrought,
Like him in charity abound,

And practise what his goodness taught?

-4 Ye who his grace so freely share.
Your willing aid as freely give ;
Your lively faith and love declare,
And in his sacred precepts live
