ALL glory to the Saviour's name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye saints in glory, who with joy
Have left this earthly ball,
Your most triumphant songs employ,
Extol the Lord of all.

3 Children of God, who walk by faith,
Ye ransom'd from the fall,
Show forth your dear Redeemer's death,
Confess him Lord of all,

4 Let ev'ry tribe, and ev'ry tongue
That hear the Saviour's call,
Unite in one harmonious song,
And hail him Lord of all!

212. T. 125.

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,

[merged small][ocr errors]

5 Grant me steadiness,
Lord, to run my race,
Foll'wing thee with love most tender,
So that Satan may not hinder
Me by craft or force;
Further thou my course.

6 By thy Spirit's light,
Me instruct aright,

That I watch and pray with fervor,
Trusting thee, my soul's Preserver:
Love unfeign'd, O Lord,
Unto me afford.

7 Give me courage good,
That my wealth and blood

I for thee could spend, my Saviour,
Hating world and sin for ever;
Since for me, my God,
Thou didst shed thy blood.
8 When I hence depart,
Strengthen thou my heart,
And into thy realms convey me,
In thy righteousness array me,
That at thy right-hand
Joyful I may stand..

He is thy Lord, be joyful, O my soul! His name is Wonderful, who can reveal His thoughts divine, immense, unsearchable!

7 He is the Life, by whom all things subsist;

9 Thee, gracious Lord, our Saviour
we confess,

Since we're partakers of thy saving grace:

As Advocate, and for us intercede.
10 To thee, the Mercy-seat, we may
draw nigh,

And confidently on thy name rely:
As Lamb, thou didst become a sacrifice
For us, and pay in blood our ransom-
price.

Protect from harm, and to green pastures lead':

O Bread of life, whereby alone we live, Thro' thee we everlasting life receive. 13 O living Fountain, he who drinks

of thee

Shall thirst no more to all eternity. Thou art the Vine, and we the branches are,

Deriving juice from thee, we fruit can bear.

14 Our All in all, sole Source of peace
and rest,

O thou who art unchangeably the same,
Thyself to each more clearly manifest:
Grant us to prove the virtue of thy
name!

215. T. 341.
O Day-spring from on high!
In mercy hear my cry:
See the travail of thy soul,

Rule in me without control,
Saviour, and be satisfy'd;
May I ever thine abide.

2 Jesus, who art the Tree
Of immortality,

Feed this tender branch of thine;

By thy influence I shall thrive;
Thou the true, the heav'nly Vine!
Grafted into thee I live.

3 Of life the Fountain thou!
I know, I feel it now.

Faint and dead no more I droop;
Thou reviv'st me, thy supplies
Ev'ry moment springing up,
Unto life eternal rise.

4 Thou the good Shepherd art;
From thee I'll never part.
Thou my Keeper and my Guide,
Watch me still with tender care;
Gently lead me by thy side,
Kindly in thy bosom bear.

5 Thou art my daily Bread! O Christ, thou art my Head! Countless benefits on me,

As thy body's member flow;
Nourish'd I, and fed by thee,
Up to thee in all things grow.
6 Prophet, to me reveal
Thy Father's perfect will..
Never mortal spake like thee;
Lord, may I by thee be taught,
May I listen eagerly

To thy words, with comfort fraught.
7 High-priest, on thee I call,
Thy blood aton'd for all.
Thou dost still in heav'n above
As the Lamb once slain appear;
There remember me in love,
Plead for me a sinner there.

8 Jesus, thou art my King,
Praises to thee I sing.

Kept by thy almighty hand,

Saviour, who shall pluck me thence ? Faith supports, by faith I stand, By the faith thou dost dispense.

216. T. 22.

COME, worship at Immanuel's feet;
Behold in him what wonders meet!
Words are too feeble to express
His worth, his glory, or his grace.

2 Christ is our Head; each member lives,

And owns the vital pow'r he gives: The saints below, and saints above, Join'd by his Spirit, and his love. 3 He is the Vine; his heav'nly root Supplies each branch with life and fruit:

O may a lasting union join

My soul, as branch, to Christ the Vine!
4. He is the Rock'; how firm he proves!
The Rock of ages never moves:
But the sweet streams that from him flow,
Attend us all the desert through.
5 He is the Sun of Righteousness,
Diffusing light, and joy, and peace:
What healing in his beams appears,
To chase our clouds and dry our tears!
6 Yet faintly to us mortals here
His glory, grace and worth appear;
His beauties we shall clearly trace,
When we behold him face to face.

XII. Of the Holy Ghost, and his Gifts and Operations.

217.* T. 203.

COME, Holy Ghost! come, Lord

our God!

And shed thy heav'nly gifts abroad
On us, and unto ev'ry heart
True faith and fervent love impart.
O Lord, who by thy heav'nly light,
Hastcall'd thy church from sinful night,
Out of all nations, tribes and places;
To thee we render thanks and praises.
Hallelujah!

12 Thou Light divine! most gracious Lord!

Revive us by thy holy word,

And teach thy flock in truth to call
On God, the Father of us all:
From all strange doctrines us preserve,
No other masters may we serve,
But Christ, who is our only Saviour!
In him we will confide for ever.

Hallelujah! :||: 3 O Holy Ghost! kind Comforter! Help us, with watchfulness and pray'r,

'Midst various trials thee t' obey,
And never from the truth to stray:
O Lord, by thy almighty grace,
Prepare us so to run our race,
That we by thy illumination,
May gain heav'n's glorious habitation.
Hallelujah! :||:

For thy instruction, pow'r and grace,
To love the Father, who doth own
Us as his children in the Son.
3 Thee of ourselves we could not
know,

Till thou, O Lord, didst clearly show
The sin of unbelief to us,
Of enmity to Jesus' cross.
4 When this we felt to be our case,
Then Jesus' blood and righteousness
Unto our hearts thou didst reveal,
Imparting thus thy pard'ning seal.

O lead us further every day!

That we may in Jesus abide for ever, Who gain'd a place in heav'n for each believer. Have mercy, Lord!

Our lifeless souls with love's celestial fire:

May we, as Christ's members, be join'd
together

In unity, and truly love each other.

T. 9.

HOLY Ghost, thou God and Lord
Of thy Congregation,
We to thee with one accord
Pay our adoration.

2 For thy teachings, heav'nly Guide,
O accept our praises!
Have we thee, we're well supply'd
With good gifts and graces.
3 Thou explainest unto us
Jesus' incarnation,

And how he upon the cross
Purchas'd our salvation.

4 Thou fill'st with the gospel light
Every land and nation,
Aidst thy witnesses, with might,
Under tribulation.

5 Us to Jesus thou hast brought,
And wilt keep us ever

In the faith which thou hast wrought, Thro' thy grace and favor. 6 With maternal faithfulness Lead his ransom'd people, And to please him give them grace, Bear them up when feeble. 7 Daily Jesus' flock thanks thee For thy kind tuition ; 10 may we obedient be, Thro' thy benediction!

8 Grant, that we may never lose,
Till our dying moment,
The rich comfort which to us
Flows from Christ's atonement.

9 For, our heav'nly Father's love,
Jesus' great compassion,

Our strong consolation.

10 Amen, Lord God, Holy Ghost,
Endless thanks and praises
Gives to thee the ransom'd host,
In the name of Jesus.

222. T. 58.

GOD Holy Spirit, be for ever blest, That thou to us Christ's death dost manifest,

And of him the Fountain, whence flows salvation,

Dost so distinctly give us information, And light impart.

2 What of the Father and the Son we know

To thy divine instructions all we owe,
Thro' thy operations we are assured,
That Jesus Christ, who death for us
endured,
Is Lord and God.

3 Thanks for revealing to us the Lamb slain,

And that his blood would have been shed in vain,

Had to sanctify us ought else availed, And could our souls have otherwise been healed, Than by his stripes. 4 Christ's meritorious suff'rings are

the sum,

And sole foundation of true Christendom;.

We enjoy, thro' mercy, those comforts blessed,

Of which, thro' thee, believers are possessed, While here on earth.

5 The blood of Christ alone can joy impart,

Can heal, revive, and cheer the con
