Your voice with one accord; Come sing a cheerful song of praise, And bless your Saviour Lord.

2 Sing of the wonders of His grace,
Who pardons all your sin,

And says that such as seek His face
Shall life eternal win.

3 Sing of the wonders of His love,
And praise and glory give
To him who left His throne above,
And died that you might live.
4 Sing of the wonders of His power,
Who, with His own right arm,
Upholds and keeps you ev'ry hour,
And shields your souls from harm.
5 Sing of the wonders of His name,
And Jesus Christ adore;

Him for your Lord and God proclaim, And praise Him ever more.

"Is any merry? Let him sing psalms." -Jas. v. 13..

1 COME, let us sing of Jesus,

While hearts and accents blend;
Come, let us sing of Jesus,
The sinner's only Friend;
His holy soul rejoices,
Amid the choirs above,
To hear our youthful voices
Exulting in His love.

2 We love to sing of Jesus,

Who died our souls to save;
We love to sing of Jesus,

Triumphant o'er the grave;
And in our hour of danger

We'll trust His love alone,
Who once slept in a manger,

And now sits on the throne.

8 Then let us sing of Jesus

While yet on earth we stay,
And hope to sing of Jesus
Throughout eternal day :
For those who here confess Him
He will in heaven confess;
And faithful hearts that bless Him
He will for ever bless.

GEORGE W. BETHUNE.

4 Name Him, brothers, name Him,
With love as strong as death,
But with awe and wonder,
And with bated breath;
He is God the Saviour,
He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshipped,
Trusted, and adored.

5 In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,

All that is not true:
Crown Him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let His will enfold you
In its light and power.

6 Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With His Father's glory,
With His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon His brow,

1 AT the name of Jesus

Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess Him
King of glory now.
"Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 At His voice creation

Sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces,

All the hosts of light,
Thrones and dominations,
Stars upon their way,
All the heavenly orders,
In their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom He came,

Faithfully He bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,

When from death He passed:

And our hearts confess Him
King of glory now.

"Worthy is the Lamb."-Rev. v. 12.

GLORY to God on high!

Let earth to heaven reply,
Praise ye His name.

His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
And praise Him evermore:
Worthy the Lamb!

2 While they around the throne
Join cheerfully in one,

Praising His name;

We, who have felt His blood
Sealing our peace with God,
Sound His high praise abroad:
Worthy the Lamb!

3 Join, all the ransomed race,.
Our Lord and God to bless;
Praise ye His name:
In Him we will rejoice,
Making a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb.

4 Though we must change our place, Yet shall we never cease

Praising His name;

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.

3 Dear name! the Rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace.

4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, mine End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5 Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With ev'ry fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

75" Thy name is as ointment poured

forth."-Song Sol. i. 3.

1 JESUS, the very thought of Thee,
With sweetness fills my breast,
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

2 Nor voice can sing,nor heart can frame, Nor can the mem'ry find,

A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Saviour of mankind!

3 O hope of every contrite heart!

O joy of all the meek!

To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

4 But what to those who find? Ah, this-
Nor tongue nor pen can show:
The love of Jesus-what it is
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our crown wilt be;
Jesus, be Thon our glory now,
And through eternity.

"But was in all points tempted as we
are."-Heb. iv. 15.

WITH joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
His bowels melt with love.

2 Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;

He knows what sore temptations mean,
For He has felt the same.

3 But spotless, innocent, and pure,
The great Redeemer stood,
While Satan's fiery darts He bore,
And did resist to blood.

4 He, in the days of feeble flesh,

Poured out His cries and tears,
And in His measure feels afresh
What ev'ry member bears.

5 He'll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame;

The bruised reed He never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.

6 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and His power;
We shall obtain deliv'ring grace
In the distressing hour.

1 LORD of mercy and of might, Of mankind the life and light, Maker, Teacher, Infinite,

Jesus, hear and save!

2 Strong Creator, Saviour mild,
Humbled to a mortal child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled;
Jesus, hear and save!

3 Throned above celestial things, Borne aloft on angels' wings, Lord of lords, the King of kings; Jesus, hear and save!

4 Soon to come to earth again, Judge of angels and of men; Hear us now, and hear us then, Jesus, hear and save!

"Thou shalt call His name Jesus. Matt. i. 21.

1I LOVE the name of Jesus,

The name the angels sing,
And with their loud hosannas
The heavenly portals ring.
To Him my all confiding,
In Him my joy complete,
I learn with Christian meekness,
My duty at His feet.

I love the name of Jesus,
The sweetest name,
The name the angels sing.

2 I love to think of Jesus

When all is calm and still,
When pure and holy feelings
My grateful bosom fill.
I love to think of Jesus,

Whose mercy crowns my days,—
How just are all His counsels,
And true are all His ways!
I love the name, &c.

3 I love to work for Jesus,
And worship at His throne;
O may His Spirit help me
To live for Him alone.
To labour for my Saviour

My greatest joy shall be,-
I know that Jesus loves me
Because He died for me.

I love the name, &c.

2 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

3 Finish, then, Thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise,

Mark x. 14.

EE, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands
With all engaging charms;

Hark! how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in His arms!

2 "Permit them to approach," He cries, "Nor scorn their humble name;" For 'twas to bless such souls as these The Lord of angels came.

3 He'll lead us to the heavenly streams,
Where living waters flow;
And guide us to the fruitful fields
Where trees of knowledge grow.

4 The feeblest lamb amidst the flock
Shall be its Shepherd's care;
While folded in the Saviour's arms,
We're safe from every snare.

And know, in the glory,
How great was His love.

Exalt the incarnate Word.

ever."-Heb. i. 8.

1LET us sing with one accord,

Praise to Jesus Christ our Lord; He is worthy whom we praise, Hearts and voices let us raise. 2 He hath made us by His power, He hath kept us to this hour, He redeems us from the grave, He who died now lives to save. 3 What He bids us, let us do; Where He leads us, let us go; As He loves us, let us love All below, and all above. 4 Angels praise Him, so will we, Sinful children though we be; Poor and weak, we'll sing the more, Jesus helps the weak and poor. 5 Dear to Him is childhood's prayer; Children's hearts to Him are dear; Hearts and voices let us raise, He is worthy whom we praise.

Ruler of all nature,

Jesus of God and of Mary the Son!
Thee will I cherish,

Thee will I honour,

Thee, my delight and my glory and

crown.

No lofty strains can raise:
But Thou wilt not despise the young
Who meekly chant Thy praise.

3 Hosanna! Master; lo we bring
Our off'rings to Thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be Thine own.
4 Hosanna! once Thy gracious ear
Approved a lisping throng;

Be gracious still, and deign to hear
Our poor but grateful song.

Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.

kindness."--Ps. cxxxviii. 2.

COME, sing with holy gladness,
High alleluias sing,
Uplift your loud hosannas
To Jesus, Lord and King:
Sing, boys, in joyful chorus,
Your hymn of praise to-day,
And sing, ye gentle maidens,
Your sweet responsive lay.

2 'Tis good for boys and maidens
Sweet hymns to Christ to sing,
'Tis meet that children's voices
Should praise the children's King.
For Jesus is salvation,"

Aud glory, grace, and rest;
To babe, and boy, and maiden,
The one Redeemer blest.

3 O boys, be strong in Jesus,
To toil for Him is gain,
And Jesus wrought with Joseph,
With chisel, saw, and plane;
O maidens, live for Jesus,
Who was a maiden's son;
Be patient, pure, and gentle,
And perfect grace begun.

The boys and girls shall play, And through the dazzling mansions Rejoice in endless day;
