The pow'rs of hell are captive led, Dragg'd to the portals of the sky. 2 There his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lay; "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! "Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 3 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold the radiant scene;
He claims those mansions as his right;
Receive the King of Glory in.

4 "Who is the King of Glory, who?"
The Lord that all his foes o'ercame,
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew,
And Jesus is the conq'ror's name.
5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lay,
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates!
"Ye everlasting doors give way!"
6" Who is the King of Glory, who?"
The Lord of boundless power possess'd,
The King of saints and angels too,
God over all, for ever bless'd.

WHITSUNDAY.

HYMN 74.

(C. M.)

COME, holy Ghost! Creator, come,
Inspire these souls of thine;
Till every heart which thou hast made
Be fill'd with grace divine.

2 Thou art the Comforter, the gift

Of God, and fire of love; The everlasting spring of joy,

And unction from above.

3 Thy gifts are manifold, thou writ'st
God's law in each true heart;
The promise of the Father, thou
Dost heavenly speech impart.

4 Enlighten our dark souls, till they
Thy sacred love embrace;
Assist our minds, by nature frail,
With thy celestial grace.

5 Drive far from us the mortal foe,
And give us peace within,
That, by thy guidance blest, we may
Escape the snares of sin.

6 Teach us the Father to confess,
And Son, from death reviv'd,
And thee, with both, O Holy Ghost,
Who art from both deriv'd.

HYMN 75,

(C. M.)
COME, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning powers.
Kindle a flame of sacred love

In these cold hearts of ours,
2 See how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys!

13 In vain we tune our lifeless songs,
In vain we strive to rise!
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.

4 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

And fix our wavering zeal!

4 Thou to the conscience dost convey
Those checks which we should know
Thy motions point to us the way;
Thou giv'st us strength to go.

TRINITY SUNDAY.
HYMN 77.

HOLY, holy, holy Lord,

(L.M.)

Bright in thy deeds and in thy
For ever be thy name ador'd, [name,
Thy glories let the world proclaim '
20 Jesus, Lamb once crucified
To take our load of sins away,
Thine be the hymn that rolls its tide
Along the realms of upper day!
3 O Holy Spirit, from above,
In streams of light and glory giv'n,
Thou source of ecstasy and love,
Thy praises ring through earth and
heav'n!

4 O God triune! to thee we owe
Our every thought, our every song;
And ever may thy praises flow
From saint and serapn's burning tongue!
HYMN 78. (L. M.)

FATHER of all, whose love profound
for our souls hath found,
Before thy throne we sinners bend ;
To us thy pardoning love extend!
2 Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend!
3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is rais'd from sin and death
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quick'ning pow'r extend!

4 Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead, Three in one!
Before thy throne we sinners bend ;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend!

HYMN 79.

(II.4.)

WE give immortal praise

To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here,
And all our hopes above:
He sent his own
Eternal Son,
To die for sins

That man had done.
2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who sav'd us by his blood
From everlasting wo:
And now he lives,
And now he reigns,

And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit, praise
And endless worship give,
Whose new-creating pow'r
Makes the dead sinner live:
His work completes
The great design,
And fills the soul
With joy divine.

4 Almighty God! to thee
Be endless honours done;
The sacred Persons three,
The Godhead only one:
Where reason fails
With all her pow'rs,
There faith prevails,
And love adores.

FAST-DAY.

HYMN 80.

(C. M.)

ALMIGHTY Lord! before thy throne
Thy mourning people bend!
"Tis on thy pard'ning grace alone
Our prostrate hopes depend.

2 Dark judgments, from thy heavy hand,
Thy dreadful pow'r display;
Yet mercy spares our guilty land,

And still we live to pray.

3 How chang'd, alas! are truths divine,
For error, guilt and shame!
What impious numbers, bold in sin,
Disgrace the Christian name!
40 turn us, turn us, nighty Lord,
Convert us by thy grace;
Then shall our hearts obey thy word,
And see again thy face.

5 Then, should oppressing foes invade,
We will not sink in fear;
Secure of all-sufficient aid,
When God, our God, is near.

HYMN 84.

FOUNTAIN of mercy, God of love,

How rich thy bounties are!
The rolling seasons, as they move,
Proclaim thy constant care.

2 When in the bosom of the earth
The sower hid the grain,
Thy goodness mark'd its secret birth,
And sent the early rain.

3 The spring's sweet influence, Lord,
was thine,

The plants in beauty grew;
Thou gav'st the summer's suns to shine,
The mild refreshing dew.

4 These various mercies from above
Matur'd the swelling grain

A kindly harvest crowns thy love,
And plenty fills the plain.

5 We own and bless thy gracious sway:
Thy hand all nature hails;
Seed-time nor harvest, night nor day,
Summer nor winter fails.

HYMN 85.

(L. M.)

For Public Mercies and Deliverances.

SALVATION doth to God belong.

His power and grace shall be our
From him alone all mercies flow, [song;
His arm alone subdues the foe!

2 Then praise this God, who bows his
Propitious to his people's prayer; [ear
And though deliv'rance he may stay,
Yet answers still in his own day.
30 may this goodness lead our land,
Still sav'd by thine almighty hand,

HYMN 87.

Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms
Himself declares them blest.
2" Let them approach," he cries,
"Nor scorn their humble clain;
"The heirs of heaven are such as these
"For such as these I came."

3 Gladly we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to thee,
Imploring, that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be.

HYMN 88.

(S. M.)

Of Adults.
Ephesians vi. 10-13.
SOLDIERS of Christ arise,
And put your armour on,
Strong in the strength which God sup
Through his eternal Son. [plies

2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty pow'r,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror.

3 Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endu'ù;

4 "Glory to God in highest strains,

"And to the earth be peace; "Good-will from heaven to men is come, "And let it never cease!"

HYMN 96.

(L. M.)

NO Jesus, our exalted Lord, [ador'd,
To
That name, in heav'n and earth
Fain would our hearts and voices raise
A cheerful song of sacred praise.

2 But all the notes which mortals know,|
Are weak, and languishing, and low;
Far, far above our humble songs,
The theme demands immortal tongues.
3 Yet whilst around his board we meet,
And worship at his sacred feet,
O let our warm affections move,
In glad returns of grateful love.

4 Yes, Lord, we love and we adore,
But long to know and love thee more;
And, whilst we taste the bread and wine,
Desire to feed on joys divine.

5 Let faith our feeble senses aid,
To see thy wondrous love display'd;

Lord,
[ceive;
"Bid the whole earth my grace re
"Explain to them my sacred word,
"Bid them believe, obey, and live.
2"I'll make my great commission known,
"And ye shall prove my gospel true,
"By all the works that I have done,

"And all the wonders ye shall do.
3" Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
"Go cast out devils in my name;
"Nor let my prophets be afraid,
"Though Greeks reproach, and Jews
blaspheme.

4 "While thus ye follow my commands,
"I'm with you till the world shall end;
"All power is trusted in my hands;
"I can destroy, and can defend."

5 He spake, and light shone round his
head;

On a bright cloud to heaven he rode, They to the farthest nations spread The grace of their ascended God.

HYMN 99.
