The song of Moses and the Lamb.
AWAKE, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake every heart and every tongue,
To praise the Saviour's Name.
2 Sing of his dying love;
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those whose sins he bore.
3 Ye pilgrims, on the road
To Zion's city, sing;
Rejoice ye in the Lamb of God,-
In Christ, the' eternal King.
4 Soon shall we hear him say,-
Ye blessed children, come;
Soon will he call us hence away,
To our eternal home.
5 There shall each raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
YOME, let us who in Christ believe,
Our common Saviour praise:
To him, with joyful voices, give
The glory of his grace.
2 He now stands knocking at the door
Of every sinner's heart:
The worst need keep him out no more,
Or force him to depart.
3 Through grace we hearken to thy voice
Yield to be saved from sin;
In sure and certain hope rejoice,
That thou wilt enter in.
4 Come quickly in, thou heavenly guest,
Nor ever hence remove;
But sup with us, and let the feast
Be everlasting love.
The Lamb worshipped on earth and in heaven.
COME, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne:
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exalted thus:
Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply,
For he was slain for us.
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever thine.
4 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
COME, let us tune our loftiest song,
And raise to Christ our joyful strain;
Worship and thanks to Him belong,
Who reigns, and shall forever reign.
2 His sov'reign power our bodies made;
Our souls are his immortal breath;
And when his creatures sinn'd, he bled,
To save us from eternal death.
3 Burn every breast with Jesus' love;
Bound every heart with rapt'rous joy;
And saints on earth, with saints above,
Your voices in his praise employ.
4 Extol the Lamb with loftiest song,
Ascend for him our cheerful strain;
Worship and thanks to Him belong,
Who reigns, and shall forever reign.
that love the Saviour's name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sov'reign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before his throne.
2 Behold your Lord, your Master, crown'd With glories all divine:
And tell the wond'ring nations round,
How bright those glories shine.
3 When, in his earthly courts, we view The glories of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish, like them, to sing.
4 And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise:
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.
Joining the song of the Church triumphant.
ING we the song of those who stand
Around the' eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land,—
A multitude unknown.
2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here;
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock, appear,
One shepherd and one fold.

5th P. M. 4 lines 7s.
Saints and angels ever praising God.
NONGS of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of peace was born;
Songs of praise arose, when he
Captive led captivity.
3 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
4 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amid eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
L. M.
Tribute of praise to the Saviour.
JESUS, thou everlasting King,
Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept thy well-deserved renown,
And wear our praises as thy crown.
2 Let every act of worship be
Like our espousals, Lord, to thee:
Like the blest hour, when from above
We first received the pledge of love.
3 The gladness of that happy day,
O may it ever, ever stay:
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor hope decline, nor love
4 Let every moment, as it flies,
grow cold.
Increase thy praise, improve our joys,
Till we are raised to sing thy Name,
At the great supper of the Lamb.
