HYMN 298. L. M.

Blessings of the righteous.

1 YOUR hearts and tongues, ye saints, employ,
To hymn the praises of your God;
Sing the vast blessings you enjoy,
The purchase of a Saviour's blood.
2 Salvation for defence is given;
God is your everlasting stay;
Your blessing is the peace of heaven;
And holiness your shining way.
3 Soft as the dew shall grace descend,
Your drooping spirits to sustain,
And when your mortal life shall end,
You'll wake in bliss with Christ to reign.
HYMN 299. 8.8. 6.

Victory over the grave through Christ.
OH joyful sound! Oh glorious hour!
When Christ by his almighty power,
Arose, and left the grave;

Now let our songs his triumph tell,
Who burst the chains of death and hell,
And ever lives to save.

"The first begotten from the dead,"

Behold him rise his people's head,
Immortal life to bring;

What! though the saints like him must die,
They share their leader's victory,

And triumph with their King.

No more we tremble at the grave;
For He who died our souls to save,

Will raise our bodies too:

What! though this earthly house shall fail,
The Saviour's power will yet prevail,

And build it up anew.

HYMN 300. P. M.

Judgment.

DAY of judgment, day of wonders!
Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than ten thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons

Will the sinner's heart confound!
See the Judge our nature wearing,
Rob'd in majesty divine!
Ye, who long for his appearing,
Then shall in his glory shine:
Gracious Saviour!

Own me in that day for thine!
Then to all who have confessed,

Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near, ye blessed,
Take the kingdom I bestow;
You for ever

Shall my love and glory know."

DOXOLOGIES.

GIVE to the Father praise,
Give glory to the Son,

And to the Spirit of his grace

Be equal honour done.

TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,

Be glory as it was, is now, .
And shall be evermore.

TO God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory given
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
SING we to our God above,
Praise eternal as his love;
Praise him all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

ACCORDING to thy gracious word
Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near
Affliction is a stormy deep
Again the day returns of holy rest
Again the Lord of life and light
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed .
Alas! by nature how deprav'd
All hail the great Immanuel's name
All people that on earth do dwell
Almighty Father, bless the word
And is the gospel peace and love
And will the Judge descend
Another six days' work is done
Are we the soldiers of the cross
Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise
Arise, O King of grace, arise
As every day thy mercy spares
As pants the hart for cooling streams
Attend, O earth, whilst I declare
Awake, and sing the song
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve
BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne
Behold the Lamb of God who bore
Behold the mountain of the Lord
Behold the Saviour of mankind
Behold the throne of grace
Behold, what wondrous grace
Beset with snares on every hand
Beyond the dearest joys of earth
Beyond the glittering starry sky
Bless, O my soul, the living God
Bless'd are the sons of God
Bless'd be the everlasting God.
Bless'd be the Father and his love
Blest are the humble souls that see
Blest are the sons of peace

Blest are the souls that hear and know
Blest Instructor! from thy ways
Blest is the man whose heart expands
Blest who with generous pity glows

Blow ye the trumpet, blow

Bread of the world, in mercy broken

Bright as the Sun's meridian blaze

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Bp. Heler 248

Buried in shadows of the night

By thy birth and early years

CAPTAIN of Israel's host, and guide
Captain of thine enlisted host
Christ the Lord is risen to-day
Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Christians, awake, and raise your eyes
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Christian brethren, ere we part
Come, Holy Spirit, come

Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Come, gracious Lord, descend and dwell
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
Come, let our voices join to raise .
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Come let us stand as Balaam stood

Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart Mrs. Steele 234
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Come, weary souls, with sin distrest.
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched
Come, ye that love the Lord
Creator Spirit! by whose aid

DAY of judgment, day of wonders
Dear refuge of my weary soul
Dearest of all the names above

Descend from heaven, immortal Dove
Dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord

EARLY, my God, without delay
E en now, to our expecting eyes
Ensnar'd too long our hearts have been
Ere another Sabbath's close

Eternal God, our wondering souls
Eternal Power! whose high abode

Eternal source of every joy.

Exalted high at God's right hand

FAITH adds new joy to earthly bless

Far from our thoughts, vain world, begone
Far from the world, () Lord, I flee
Far from these narrow scenes of night
Father divine, thy piercing eye
Father how wide thy olory shines
Father, in whom we live

Father of mercies in thy word
Father of mercies, send thy grace
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
For ever blessed be the Lord
For mercies countless as the sands
For thee, O God, our constant praise
Fountain of mercy, God of love
Frequent the day of God returns
From all that dwell below the skies
From Greenland's icy mountains
From the cross uplifted high

GIVE me the wings of faith to rise
Give thanks to God; he reigns above
Give to our God immortal praise
Give to the Lord ye sons of fame
Glory to thee, my God, this night
Go to dark Gethsemane

Go, worship at Immanuel's feet
God in his temple let us meet
God, in the gospel of his Son
God is the refuge of his saints
God moves in a mysterious way
God, my supporter and my hope
God of my life, through all its aays
God of my life, to thee I call
God of our life! thy various praise
Grace is a plant, where'er it grows
Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Great God of Abraham! hear our prayer

Great God, this sacred day of thine
Great God, what do I see and hear
Great is the Lord our God

Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Great Shepherd of thy people hear
Great was the day, the joy was great
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
HAIL the day that sees him rise
Happy the souls to Jesus join'd

Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes Doddridge 77

Hark! the herald angels sing

Hark! the song of jubilee

Hark the voice of love and mercy

Have mercy, Lord, on me

He dies! the friend of sinners dies

He who on earth as man was known
