King of glory, mount thy throne, Boundless empire is thine own. Praise, and sweep your golden lyres ; From ten thousand, thousand tongues, 6 Ev'ry note to rapture swell : Sing the pow'rs of death and hell : Each the wreck eternal feels, Ransom, mediator, Lord; Hymn 27. L. M. [Tune, Cheshunt-Lock Hos.] Christ's Ascension. Psalm xxiv, 7.10. 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; Dragg’d to the portals of the sky. 2 There his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay : “ Ye everlasting doors give way!" 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; Receive the king of glory in. The Lord, that all his foes o'ercame; The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew, And Jesus is the conqu’rors name. 5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay; “ Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates, “Ye everlasting doors give way!" 6 “Who is the king of glory, who ?" The Lord of boundless pow'r possest, Hymn 28. C. M. double. Rejoicing in Hope of Future Glory. 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint or die ; And soar to worlds on high : And find its long.sought rest; In the Redeemer's breast. I now the cross sustain ; And smile at toil and pain : Till my deliv'rer come; And take his exile home. Before my ravish'd eyes, And trees of paradise ! Who taste the pleasures there! And conqu’ring palms they bear. 4 0, what are all my suff'rings here, If, Lord, thou count me meet, And worship at thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Hymn 29. S. M. double. [Tune, Unity.] Christian Soldier. Attend the trumpet's sound; The pow'rs of hell surround: Your arms and hearts prepare: Go forth to glorious war! 2 See on the mountain top, The standard of our God! up, To all the nations call : He bore the cross for all. Your Captain's footsteps sce; To certain victory: He ever reigns the same : Are all in Jesus' name. ; In faith your foes assail : Ņot wrestling against flesh and blood, But all the pow'rs of hell: From thrones of glory driv'u, And rule the lower world. Hymn 30. S. M. double. Christian Soldier. 1 SOLDIERS of Christ, arise, And put your armour on, Through his eternal Son: Is more than conqueror. In close and firm array ; Throughout the evil day : But mock their vain design, Of righteousness divine. 3 Leave no unguarded place, No weakness of the soul, And fortify the whole : To battle all proceed; That was in Christ your head. 4 Let truth the girdle be, That binds your armour on, Let faith and love combine Imputed and imprest. Ready his will to do ; His glory to pursue. The gospel grace put on, To life eternal run. Hymn 31. L. M. The Christian Soldier. To boldly face the enemy; And pass the word to all the guard. 2 Grant me the weapons of thy word, The spirit's powerful two-edg’d sword, And own the vict'ry won by thee. That I may run the heav'nly way; But live to Christ with all my heart. 4 Help me to walk in humbleness, March in the way of holiness; And fit to stand the grand review.
