HYMN CIV. L. M.

The exaltation of Chrift.

[STEELE.]

NOW let us raife our cheerful trains,
And join the blifsful choir above!

There our exalted Saviour reigns,
And there they fing his wondrous love.
2 While feraphs tune th' immortal fong,
O may we feel the facred flame;
And ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue
Adore the Saviour's glorious name.
3 Jefus, who once upon the tree
In agonizing pains expir'd;
Who di'd for rebels; yes 'tis he!
How bright! how lovely! how admir'd!
4 Jefus who di'd that we might live,
Di'd in the wretched traitor's place;
O what returns can mortals give,
For fuch

meafurable grace!

5 Were univerfal nature ours,

And art with all her boasted store ;
Nature and art with all their pow'rs,
Would ftili confefs the off'rer

poor!

6 Yet tho' for bounty, fo divine!
We ne'er can equal honors raife;
Jefus, may all our hearts be thine,
And all our tongues proclaim thy praise.

[DODDRIDGE.]

Jefus exalted as a Prince and a Saviour.
XALTED Prince of life, we own
The royal honors of thy throne:

'Tis fix'd by God's Almighty hand,
And feraphs bow at thy command.
2 Exalted Saviour, we confefs
The foy'reign triumphs of thy grace;
Where beams of gentle radiance fhine,
And temper majefty divine.

3 Wide thy refiftlefs fceptre fway,
Till all thine enemies obey:
Wide may thy crofs its virtue prove,
And conquer millions by its love.
4 Mighty to vanquish, and forgive!
Thine Ifr'el fhall repent and live;
And loud proclaim thy healing breath,
Which works their life, who wro't thy death.

HYMN CVI. L. M. [WATTS' M—SS.
The Victory of the King of Kings.
BEGIN, my foul, the heav'nly fong,

A burden for an angel's ongue:
When Gabriel founds thefe awful things,
He tunes and fummons all his strings.

2 Proclaim inimitable love,
Jefus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay?

He that diftributes crowns and thrones,
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans :
The Prince of life refigns his breath,
The King of glory bows to death.

4 But fee the wonders of his pow'r,
He triumphs in his dying hour,

And while by Satan's rage he fell,
He dash'd the rifing hopes of hell.
5 Thus were the hofts of death fubdu'd,
And fin was drown'd in Jefus' blood:
Then he arofe, and reigns above,
And conquers finners by his love.

6 Who hall fulfil this boundless fong?
The theme furmounts an Angel's tongue :
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs.

And crown him Lord of all.

JESUS, before thy throne,

JEST

We bow with filial awe,

And our tranfgreffions humbly own
As fins, against thy law.

How 'fcape from wrath divine?
O be our advocate on high,
And claim us, Lord, as thine

3 Plead thy dear wounds, rich blood,
Thy agony, and sweat :

The mighty ransom of the God,
Who paid the finner's debt.

4 Nor afk we this, thy grace,
For our vile felves alone:

The whole of Adam's guilty race
Are, Lord, thy purchas'd own.

5 Hence all the fhields of earth,

Shall found thy name abroad;
And shout in loudeft ftrains of praise,
The ever faving God.

A love more strong than death:

With thy expiring breath.

For us, for all was freely paid,
The richest blood of heav'n.
