3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eye-lids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,-
Rock of ages! cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!

Praise to the Redeemer.

HYMN 16. C. M.

Coronation of Christ.

LL hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall,

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him-Lord of all.

2 Crown him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from his altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown him-Lord of all.

3 Hail him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David, Lord did call;
The God incarnate! Man Divine!
And crown him-Lord of all.

4 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
Ye ransom'd from the fall,

Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him-Lord of all.

5 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall,

Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him-Lord of all

6 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,

To him all majesty ascribe,

And crown him-Lord of all.

7 Oh, that with yonder sacred throng, We at his feet may fall;

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

HYMN 17. P. M. 6, 4.
Worthy the Lamb.

LORY to God on high:
Let heaven and earth reply-
Praise ye his Name!

His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
And sing forevermore-
Worthy the Lamb.

2 All they around the throne,
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name;

We, who have felt his blood,
Sealing our peace with God,
Sound his dear name abroad-
Worthy the Lamb.

3 Join all ye ransom'd race,
Our Lord and God to bless
Praise ye his name:

In him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,

Shouting with heart and voice-
Worthy the Lamb.

4 What tho' we change our place-
Yet we shall never cease

Praising his name:

To him our songs we bring-
Hail him our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the Lamb.

HYMN 18. H. M.

Praise to Christ.

OME, every pious heart
That loves the Saviour's name,

Your noblest power exert

To celebrate his fame:

Tell all above, and all below,

The debt of love to him you owe.

2 He left his starry crown, And laid his robes aside;

On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:
What he endur'd, oh, who can tell?
To save our souls from death and hell.

3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansion of the dead;
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:

Up thro' the sky the conqu'ror rode,
And reigns on high the Saviour God.
4 Jesus, we ne'er can pay

The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve:

Our hearts our all to thee we give :
The gift, tho' small, do thou receive.

HYMN 19. P. M. 8, 7.

Praise for Redeeming Love.

L'

ET us love, and sing, and wonder,
Let us praise the Saviour's name,
He has hush'd the law's loud thunder,
He has quench'd mount Sinai's flame:
He has washed us with his blood;
He has brought us nigh to God.

[ocr errors]

2 Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,

Call'd us by his grace, and taught us,
Gave us ears, and gave us eyes:
He has washed us with his blood,
He presents our souls to God.

3 Let us sing, though fierce temptations
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqu'ror's crown:
He who wash'd us in his blood
Soon will bring us home to God.

4 Let us wonder; grace, and justice
Join, and point to mercy's store;
When through grace, in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles, and asks no more:
He who wash'd us with his blood,
Has secur'd our way to God.

5 Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthron'd on high;
Here they trusted him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky:
"Thou hast wash'd us with the blood,
"Thou art worthy, Lamb of God."
6 Hark! the name of Jesus sounded
Loud from golden harps above!
Lord we blush, and are confounded,
Faint our praises, cold our love:
Wash our souls, and songs with blood,
For by thee, we come to God.

The Holy Spirit.

HYMN 20. P. M. 8.7.

The Holy Spirit Invoked.

OLY GHOST, dispel our sadness,

H Pierce the clouds of sinful night;

Come, thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe thy life and spread thy light;
Loving SPIRIT, God of peace,
Great distributer of grace,
