HYMN LXXV. C. M.

On Psalm c. 1 to 5.

J. PROUD.

OME serve the Lord with love and joy,
And in his presence sing;
Cheerful your hearts and tongues employ,
The Lord alone is King.

2 He forms his church by power divine,
The work is all his own;
Let us in holy praises join
To God the Lord alone.

3 The holy gates we enter in,
And in his kingdom stand;
Releas'd from foes, and sav'd from sin,
By his almighty hand.

4. Ve sons of Zion, rise and sing,
Who in his pastures feed;

Give praises to your sov'reign King,
For he is God indeed.

5 We are his people, and his sheep,
Our shepherd is the Lord;
He will our souls in safety keep,
And be his name ador'd.

J. PR

COME in, thou blessed, honour'd I
By earth, by heav'n, by all ador'
We hail thee welcome, take thy thr
And in thy Zion reign alone.

2 Our only Lord and God thou art,
Reign thou the sov'reign of the hea

And be the kingdom ever thine!
We shout thee welcome to thy seat,

HYMN LXXVIII. C. M.
On Psalm xx. 1 and 2.

J. PROUD.

1 JERUSALEM, divinely bless'd,

Our Jesus will sustain ;

The Lord's own church, his joy and rest,
And here the Lord will reign.

If floods of falses rapid pour,
New Salem to destroy;
Or dragon spirits would devour,
With an infernal joy :

3 Jerusalem the Lord defends
Against the pow'rs of hell;
In ev'ry danger succour sends,
And guards his Salem well.

4 Thrice happy church, thy maker's love, And founded on his word!

Conjoin'd to angel hosts above,
And married to thy Lord!

5 Praise, honor, pow'r, to Jesus sing,
His kingdom is begun ;

Rule thou, O Lord, our heav'nly King,
And reign from sun to sun.

C. M.

On Psalm xx. 5 and 6.

J. PROUD.

ALVATION is from God alone,
Ye saints lift up your voice;
Come bring your off'rings to his throne,
And in your God rejoice.

2 High wave the banner in the air,
Invite the nations home,
Bid erring sinners now prepare,
For Jesus Christ is come.

3 Boldly we'll own our sov'reign Lord,
His second advent own;
Declare the wonders of his word,
And make his glories known.

4 Jesus is come, behold him reign!
Unmoy'd by fear or shame,
Announce we Jesus come again,
And glory in his name.

5 Jerusalem, lift up thy voice,
In songs of honour sing;
In thy own Saviour God rejoice,
For he alone is King.
