THE REDEEMER'S PRAISE.

HYMN 213. C. M. [#]

Coronation of Christ.

1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall:

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And own him Lord of all.

2 Ye wandering seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small,

Praise him who saves you by his grace,
And own him Lord of all.

3 Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And own him Lord of all.

4 Babes, men, and sires, who know his love,
Who feel your sin and thrall,
Now join with all the hosts above,
And own him Lord of all.

5 And when with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet shall fall,

We'll chant the everlasting song,
And own him Lord of all.

HYMN 214. L. M. [#]

Ascriptions to Christ.

1 Lo, what enraptured songs of praise

Resound through heaven to Christ the Lamb! Adoring angels on him gaze,

And swell the golden trump of fame.
2 Amid his smiles and glories bright
Transported millions round him bend,
And, robed in life's primeval light,
The honours of his cross extend.
3 Salvation to the Lamb, they cry,

That sits upon the shining throne,
Who once for sinful men did die,
That he might seek and bring them home
4 Hosanna! all have joined the song,
In heaven, in earth, and in the seas;
Salvation sounds from every tongue
In swelling notes of ceaseless praise.

HYMN 215. C. M. [#]

Redeemer's Praise.

IO, FOR a thousand tongues, to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my Lord and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

2 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,-

"Tis music in the sinner's ears,
"Tis life, and health, and peace.

3 He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

4 Hear him, ye deaf: his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ :
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

HYMN 216. P. M. [#]

Jesus our King.

1 YE servants of Christ,
Your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad

His wonderful name:
The name all-victorious
Of Jesus extol;
His kingdom is glorious,
And rules over all.

2 He ruleth on high,
Almighty to save,
And still he is nigh;
His presence we have:
The great congregation
His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation

To Jesus our King.

3 Then let us adore,

And give him his right,
All glory and power,
And wisdom and might;

HYMN 217. C. M. [#]
Worthy the Lamb.

1 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 lips 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, for ever thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak thine endless praise.
5 'The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

HYMN 218. C. M. [#]

Praise to the Lamb.

1 BEHOLD the glories of the Lamb
Amidst his Father's throne:
Prepare new honours for his name,
And songs before unknown.

2 Let elders worship at his feet,
The church adore around,
With vials full of odours sweet,
And harps of sweeter sound.

3 Now to the Lamb, that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain

Forever on his head.

4 He has redeemed our souls with blood; Has set us free from sin;

Has made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with him.

5 The worlds of nature and of grace
put beneath his power:

Are

Then shorten these delaying days,
And bring the promised hour.

HYMN 219. 8 & 7s. M. [#]

Address to Jesus.

1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown :
