Let the whole earth his love proclaim
With all her diff'rent tongues ;
And spread the honours of his name
In melody and songs.

HYMN 10.

C. M.

LORD! ev'ry knee to thee shall bow,

Whether they stood or fell

In heav'n above, or earth below,
Or in eternal hell.

2

All shall thy grace or fury prove ;
Thy kingdom all shall own:
Man shall be happy in thy love;
Let satan dread thy frown.

3

Thus ev'ry tongue, constrain'd by grace,
Or power, shall confess

The Lord with a confused face,
Or Christ their righteousness.

4

Herein the Father's glorified,

That thou art lord of all;

1;

Whilst men's and angels' swelling pride

Before thy feet shall fall.

HYMN 11. L. M.

WHEN, by the tempter's wiles betray'd,
Adam our head and parent fell;
Unknown before, a pleasure spread
Through all the mazy deeps of hell

2

Infernal powers rejoic'd to see

The new-made world destroy'd, undone; But God proclaims his great decree, Pardon and mercy through his son.

3

Serpent accurs'd, thy sentence read,→→→ Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel; The woman's seed shall bruise thy head, Thy malice faintly bruise his heel.

Thus God declares, and Christ descends, Assumes a mortal form and dies; Whilst in his death, death's empire ends, And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies.

HYMN 12. L. M.

YE humble saints, proclaim abread
The honours of a faithful God ;
How just and true are all his ways,
How much above your highest praise!

R

The words his sacred lips declare,
Of his own mind the image bear;
What should Him tempt from frailty free,
Bless'd in his self-sufficiency?

3

He will not his great Self deny :
A God all truth can never lie:
As well might he his being quit,
As break his oath, or word forget.

4.

Let frighten'd rivers change their course, Or backward hasten to their source; Swift through the air let rocks be hurl'd, And mountains like the chaff be whirl'd ;

5

Let sun and stars forget to rise,
Or quit their stations in the skies;
Let heav'n and earth both pass away,
Eternal Truth shall ne'er decay.

[blocks in formation]

SING the triumphs of your conquʼring
Head, and crucified King;

His achievements, when he vanquish'd
All our enemies, we'll sing :
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Lord, be thine!

2

Long he struggled with confused
Noise, and garments roll'd in blood;
Till destroying sin, and hell, and
Death, he rescu'd man to God:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, &c.

3

Most triumphant, greatly glorious,
He from death and hell arose !
In Him all his church victorious,
Triumph'd o'er her dreadful foes:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, &c.

4

High ascending, 'midst angelic

Songs, and sounds of trumpets loud,

In eternal triumph leading

All the captives of his blood : Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, &c.

5

Far above the highest heav'n

Thus he gloriously ascends,

Where the honours to him giv'n,
Ev'ry thought of man transcends :
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, &c.

6

There, exalted, five and reign, whilst
We admire thy wounds and blood,
Till we see thee come again, in

All the pomp and pow'r of God:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, Lord, be thine!

HYMN 14. L. M.

LORD, what was man, when made at first,
Adam, the offspring of the dust,

That thou should'st set him and his race,
But just below an angel's place ?

2

That thou should'st raise his nature so,
And make him lord of all below;
Make ev'ry beast and bird submit,
And lay the fishes at his feet?

3

But, O! what brighter glories wait
To crown the second Adam's state !
What honours shall thy Son adorn,
Who condescended to be born!

See him below his angels made;
See him in dust among the dead,
To save a ruin'd world from sin ;
But He shall reign, with pow'r divine.

5

The world to come, redeem'd from all
The mis'ries that attend the fall,
New made and glorious, shall submit
At our exalted Saviour's feet.

HYMN 15. P. M.

BLOW ye the trumpet, blow

The gladly solemn sound!
Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound, The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

2

Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption, by his blood,

Through all the lands proclaim;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home;

3

Ye, who have sold for nought
The heritage above;
Shall have it back, unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love :

The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home

4

Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive ;
And safe in Jesus dwell,

And blest in Jesus live :

The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

5

The gospel trumpet hear,

The news of pard'ning grace :
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face :

The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
