In the Godhead's glory rais'd Above the heavens all: Thee we hail, thou Prince of heav'n! 'Tis thee we hail, thou faithful heart! Thou thyself to us hast giv'n! All hail our better part ! 4 Worthy is the holy Lamb, And boldly owns the brotherhood; HYMN $54. L.M. O THOU, in whom the Gentiles trust, O tune our souls to praise thy name, 2 Glory to thee, auspicious Lamb! 3 Live, ever glorious Jesus! live, Blessings forever on the Lamb, Who bore the curse for sinful man ; And ev'ry creature say, Amen. To our Redeemer's glorious name, O may his love (immortal flame !) 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach ? What mortal tongue display? Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left his radiant throne on high; 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay 5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme HYMN 56. C. M. "TIS not the law of ten commands On holy Sinai giv'n, Or sent to men by Moses' hands, 2 'Tis not the blood which Aaron spilt, Nor smoke of sweetest smell, Can buy a pardon for our guilt, 3 Aaron the priest resigns his breath, 4 And thus on Jordan's yonder side 5 Israel rejoice, now Joshua* leads, HYMN 57. C. M. HARK the glad sound! the Saviour comes, The Saviour promis'd long! Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne, 2 On him, the spirit, largely pour'd, Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire. 3 He comes, the pris❜ners to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. Joshua, the same with Jesus, and signifies a Saviour. F 4 He comes, from thickest films of vice, To clear the mental ray ; And on the eye oppress'd with night, 5 He comes, the broken heart to bind, 6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, HYMN 58. C. M. THE true Messiah now appears, 2 No smoking sweets, nor bleeding lambs, Would all be burnt in vain. 3 Aaron must lay his robes away, His mitre and his vest, 4 He took our mortal flesh to show The wonders of his love; For us he paid his life below, And prays for us above. HYMN 59. L. M. THE lands, that long in darkness lay, 2 The virgin's promis'd son is born ; 3 This infant is the mighty God, 4 The government of earth and seas Upon his shoulders shall be laid; His wide dominion still increase, -And honours to his name be paid. 5 Jesus, the holy child, shall sit HYMN 60. L. M. BEHOLD the woman's promis'd seed! 2 Abrah'm, the saint, rejoic'd of old |
