1 Who is this that comes from E- dom, All His rai- ment stained with blood;

024 54

To the slave pro- claim-ing free-dom; Bring -ing and be - stow - ing good:

Glo-rious in the garb He wears, Glo-rious in the spoils He bears?

A - MEN.

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,
Travelling onward in His might;
''Tis the Saviour, O how glorious

To His people is the sight!
Jesus now is strong to save,
Mighty to redeem the slave.

3 Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain;
Of His foes there's none remaining,

None the contest to maintain: Fallen they are, no more to rise, All their glory prostrate lies.

4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever,

Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never

Cease to sing what Thou hast done: Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

Rev. Thomas Kelly, 1809

2 Crown the Saviour, angels, crown Him;
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Saviour King of kings.

3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His Name:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

4 Hark, those bursts of acclamation!
Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords:

Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords.

The following Hymns are also suitable :

11 Christ, whose glory fills the skies.
47 This is the day the Lord hath made.
55 Hosanna to the living Lord.

Rev. Thomas Kelly, 1899

536 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All. 545 Jesus, the very thought of Thee. 557 My God, the Spring of all my joys.

566 Majestic Sweetness sits enthroned.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emman-u- el Shall come to Thee, O Is - ra - el.

A-MEN.

2 Draw nigh, O Jesse's Rod, draw nigh, 4 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David's Key,

To free us from the enemy;

From hell's abyss Thy people save,
And give us victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

3 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Morning Star,
And bring us comfort from afar;
And banish far from us the gloom
Of sinful night and endless doom.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The heavenly gate unfolds to Thee;
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

5 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Lord of might,
Who once, from Sinai's flaming height,
Didst give the trembling tribes Thy law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

171 (STUTTGART) 8.7.8.7.
1 Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in Thee.

2 Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Rev. Philip Doddridge, 1735

3 Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

4 By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1744
