The Victories of Christ.

1 HAIL, mighty Jesus! how divine
Is thy victorious sword!

The stoutest rebel must resign
At thy commanding word.

2 How deep the wounds thine arrows give!
They pierce the hardest heart;
Thy smiles of grace the slain revive,
And joy succeeds to smart.

3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh;
Ride with majestic sway;

Go forth, great Prince, triumphantly,
And make thy foes obey.

4 And, when thy victories are complete, — When all the chosen race

Shall round the throne of glory meet
To sing thy conquering grace, -

5 0, may my humble soul be found
Among that glorious throng;

And I with them thy praise will sound
In heaven's immortal song.

The spiritual Coronation.

DUNCAN.

1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small,-
Hail him, who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.

3 Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.

4 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.

5 O that, with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.

Glory to the King.

1 GLORY, glory to our King!

Crowns unfading wreath his head;

Jesus is the name we sing

Jesus risen from the dead;
Jesus, Conqueror o'er the grave;
Jesus, mighty now to save.

2 Now behold him high enthroned,
Glory beaming from his face,
By adoring angels owned,

God of holiness and grace:

O for hearts and tongues to sing,
Glory, glory to our King!

3 Jesus, on thy people shine;

Warm our hearts and tune our tongues, That with angels we may join,

Share their bliss, and swell their songs:
Glory, honor, praise, and power,
Lord, be thine forevermore.

Glory to the Lamb.

1 GLORY, glory everlasting,

Be to Him who bore the cross,
Who redeemed our souls by tasting
Death, the death deserved by us:
Sound his glory,

While the soul with transport glows.

2 Jesus' love is love unbounded, Without measure, without end; Human thought is here confounded; "Tis too vast to comprehend; Praise the Saviour;

Magnify the sinner's Friend.

3 While we hear the wondrous story
Of the Saviour's cross and shame,
Sing we, "Everlasting glory

Be to God and to the Lamb!"
Saints and angels,

Give ye glory to his name.

341.

ROBINSON.

Praise to God the Saviour.

1 MIGHTY God, while angels bless thee,
May a mortal lisp thy name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
Thou art every creature's theme:
Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,

Sounded through the wide creation
Be thy just and lawful praise.

2 For the grandeur of thy nature,
Grand beyond a seraph's thought, –
For the wonders of creation, -

Works with skill and kindness wrought,

For thy providence, that governs

Through thine empire's wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow,
Blessed be thy gentle reign.

3 For thy rich, thy free redemption,

Bright, though veiled in darkness long, —
Thought is poor, and poor expression ;
Who can sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father's glory,
Shall thy praise unuttered lie?

Break, my tongue, such guilty silence;
Sing the Lord who came to die ;

4 From the highest throne of glory,
To the cross of deepest woe,
Came to ransom guilty captives;
Flow, my praise, forever flow:
Re-ascend, immortal Saviour;

Leave thy footstool, take thy throne;
Thence return and reign forever;
Be the kingdom all thy own.

342.

Christ supremely exalted.

BEDDOME.

1 JESUS, my Saviour and my God,
Thy wondrous love reveal;

Let angels spread thy name abroad,
And men thy glories tell.

2 Let all, with sweet and cheerful voice,
Harmonious anthems raise;

Be thou the spring of all their joys,
The life of all their praise.

3 Be thou exalted in the heavens,
And o'er this earthly ball;

Let creatures into nothing sink,
And Christ be all in all.

A new Song to the Lamb.

1 BEHOLD the glories of the Lamb
Amidst his Father's throne;
Prepare new honors for his name,
And songs before unknown.

2 Let elders worship at his feet,
The church adore around,
With vials full of odors sweet,
And harps of sweeter sound.

WATTS.

3 Those are the prayers of all the saints,
And these the hymns they raise :
Jesus is kind to our complaints;
He loves to hear our praise.

4 Now to the Lamb, that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;

Salvation, glory, joy, remain
Forever on thy head.

5 Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the prisoner free,

Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with thee.

344.

L. M.

Blessing and Honor to the Lamb.

WATTS.

1 WHAT equal honors shall we bring
To thee, O Lord our God, the Lamb,
When all the notes that angels sing
Are far inferior to thy name?

2 Worthy is he that once was slain,

The Prince of life, that groaned and died,
Worthy to rise, and live and reign
At his almighty Father's side.

3 Honor immortal must be paid,
Instead of scandal and of scorn;
While glory shines around his head,
He wears a crown without a thorn.

4 Blessings forever on the Lamb,

Who bore the curse for wretched men!
Let angels sound his sacred name,
And every creature say, "Amen."

Jesus exalted to the Throne.

1 JESUS, hail! enthroned in glory,
There forever to abide;

All the heavenly host adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.

2 There for sinners thou art pleading;
There thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

3 Worship, honor, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;

Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
