2 Sovereign alone of earth and sky! 3 Yet still our notes we'll higher raise, Eternal life through Jesus given; Image of the Invisible. Heb. i. 3. 1 NOW, in the face of Jesus, we 2 Blest image of th' eternal God, 3 Of all creation the first born; Of all that heaven's bright courts adorn, 4 See Jesus, our exalted Head, By whom the heavens and earth were made Subjected to his high command, Thrones, kingdoms and dominions stand. 5 It pleas'd th' eternal Fulness well, Kingdom of Christ. Rom. xi. 15. Psa. lxxxix. 29. Zech. ix. 10. 1 LO! what a glorious sight appears The earth and seas are pass'd away, 2 From the third heaven, where God resides, 3 Attending angels shout for joy, 4 The God of glory down to men Men, the dear objects of his grace, 5 His own soft hand shall wipe the tears And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, How long, dear Saviour, O how long! Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, 156. Kingdom of Christ over all. H. M. Mat. iv. 16. Rev. xix. 6. Psa. lxxii. 8. Phil. iv. 4. 1 REJOICE, the Lord is King! Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, 2 Rejoice, the Saviour reigns, Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, 3 His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o'er earth and heaven! Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, 4 He all his foes shall quell, With pure seraphic joy: 3 Rejoice in glorious hope, Jesus, the judge, shall come, And take his servants up To their eternal home: We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice, Lamb of God bearing away sin. John i. 36. Rev. v. 12. 1 BEHOLD the sin-atoning Lamb With wonder, gratitude and love! To take away our guilt and shame, See him descending from above. 2 Our sins and griefs on him were laid; He meekly bore the mighty load; Our ransom price he fully paid In groans and tears, and sweat and blood. 3 To save a guilty world he dies; 4 Pardon and peace through Him abound; 5 Jesus, my Lord, I look to thee; ? Where else can helpless sinners go Thy boundless love shall set me free From all my sin, and guilt, and woe. 158. P. M. 8s. 7s. 4s. Christ's finished work. 1 HARK! the voice of love and mercy Shakes the earth, and veils the sky! 2 It is finish'd! O what pleasure Do those charming words afford; 3 Finish'd, all the types and shadows Finish'd, all that God had promis'd, It is finish'd! Saints, from hence your comfort draw. 4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs! Join to sing the glorious theme; All on earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Immanuel's name! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding Lamb! Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Rev. v. 6. 1 Pet. i. 20. 1 HOW shall our feeble lips proclaim The honours of the Saviour's name! Or how the gratitude declare, Our hearts inflamed to Jesus bear? 2 To manifest his wond'rous love, Behold he leaves the worlds above! From climes of bliss beyond the sky, Swift he descends, to bleed and die. 3 Lo, he again from death revives! Jesus, the great Redeemer, lives; |
