Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the | firma-ment | of His | power.

2 Praise Him for His | mighty | acts;

Praise Him according to His | excel-lent | greatness.

4 Praise Him with the | timbrel · and | dance :
Praise Him with stringed instru- | ments and | organs.

5 Praise Him upon the | loud - | cymbals :

Praise Him upon the | high--| sounding | cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath | praise the | Lord: Praise ye the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the | Son,

And to the Holy | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be,
World without | end. A- | men.

COVENANT.

Before the Administration of the Sacrament.

I AND they brought young children to Him, that | He should | touch them; And His disciples re- | bu-ked | those that | brought them.

2 But when Jesus saw it He was | much dis- | pleased;

And said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of | such is the | kingdom of | God.

3 Verily, I say | un-to | you ;

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child he | shall not enter there- | in.

4 And He took them up | in His arms;

Put His hands upon | them and | bles-sed | them.

After the Administration of the Sacrament.

I THEN Will I sprinkle clean | water up- | on you,
And ye shall be | clean :

2 A new heart also | will I give you,

And a new spirit | will I | put with- | in you:

3 And I will take away the stony heart | out of your | flesh,

And ye shall keep my | judgments, and | do them.

5 I will pour my Spirit up- on thy | seed,

And my blessing up- on thine | offspring:

6 And they shall spring up as a- | mong the | grass,

As willows by the water- | courses.

7 For the promise is unto you, and to your children,

And to all that are afar off, even as many as the | Lord our | God shall | call.

Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son,

And to the Holy | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be,

World without | end. Amen.

"ALL HAIL."

990

I ALL hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let angels prostrate | fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him | Lord of all.
Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre,
And, as they tune it, | fall

Before His face, who tunes their choir,
And crown Him | Lord of all.
2 Crown Him, ye morning-stars of light,
Who fixed this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown Him | Lord of all!
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 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
Ye ransomed of the | fall,

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him | Lord of | all!
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 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!
Let every tribe and every tongue
That bound the Saviour's | call,
Now shout in universal song

The crownéd | Lord of all!

THE CHARIOT.

A men.

993

I THE chariot! the chariot! its wheels roll in | fire,
As the Lord cometh down in the | pomp of His | ire ;
Self-moving it drives on its pathway of cloud,

And the heavens with the burden of | Godhead are | bowed.

2 The glory! the glory! by myriads are | poured

The hosts of the angels that | wait on their | Lord;
And the glorified saints, and the martyrs are | there;
And all who the palm-wreath of victo-ry | wear.

3 The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead have all | heard;
Lo, the depths of the stone-covered | charnels are | stirred!
From the sea and the land, from the south and the | north,
The vast generations of man | are come | forth.
4 The judgment! the judgment! the thrones are all | set
Where the Lamb and the white-vested | elders are | met;
All flesh is at once in the sight of the | Lord,

And the doom of eternity | hangs on His | word.

5 O mercy! O mercy! look down from a- | bove,

Creator, on us Thy sad | children, with | love!

When beneath to their darkness the wicked are | driven,
May our sanctified souls find a | mansion in | heaven!

994

I THE Throne of His Glory! as snow it is | white,
Upborne in the air by the | legions of | light;
And, startled to life by the trumpet's last | sound,
The hosts of the nations stand | waiting a- | round.
2 The Throne of His Glory! there lieth un- | sealed
The life-roll, the death-roll, of | names ne'er re- | vealed,
Now secret no longer: the millions di- | vide

To the right and the left, on the | Throne's either | side.
3 The Throne of His Glory! and glorious there | stand
The elect of His love and the | sheep of His | hand;
Ere creation began, in the counsels of | love,
He wrote us the heirs of His | kingdom a- | bove.
