Redeemer, Prophet, Priest, and King!
Appointed Judge of all!

Let ransomed souls thy triumphs sing,
And foes before thee fall.

Spirit of life, and light, and love!
To us thy gifts impart ;

From heaven, descending like a dove,
Come dwell in every heart.

Thee, Father, Son, and Spirit! thee,
Let heaven and earth adore ;
Thou art, thou wast, and thou shalt be
One God for evermore.

AFTER DIVINE SERVICE

AGAIN our ears have heard the voice,
At which the dead shall live;
O may the sound our hearts rejoice,
And strength immortal give.

And have we heard the word with joy?
And have we felt its power?

To keep it be our blessed employ,
Till life's extremest hour.

ON LEAVING THE HOUSE OF GOD.

THY word, almighty Lord,
Where'er it enters in,

Is sharper than a two-edged sword To slay the man of sin.

Thy word is power and life;

It bids confusion cease,
And changes envy, hatred, strife,
To love, and joy, and peace.

Then let our hearts obey

The gospel's glorious sound, And all its fruits, from day to day, Be in us and abound.

DOXOLOGIES.

I.

ALL glory to the Father be,
Coequal glory to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit, - Three,
In union of the Godhead One.
As 't was ere measured time begun,
Is now, and shall forever be,
While self involving ages run
The circle of infinity.

All glory to the Father be,

All glory to the Son,

All glory to the Spirit,

Glory, O Father! be

To thee, and to thy Son,

As 't was ere time begun,

While everlasting ages run,
On through eternity.

Glory to the Father be.
Equal glory to the Son;
And the Holy Spirit, — Three,
In eternal Godhead One.
As it was ere time begun,
As it now is, and shall be,
While unending ages run
Onward to eternity.
