VII.-Christ's Kingdom and Judgment.

"And He shall come again with Glory, to judge both the quick and the dead whose Kingdom shall have no end."

1

THE Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring,
The Lord Omnipotent is King.

2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist His will, distrust His care,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
Or doubt His royal promises?

3 The Lord is King! Child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just:
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.

4 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains;
Your God is King, your Father reigns;
And He is at the Father's side,

The Man of Love, the Crucified.

5 Come, make your wants, your burdens known,
He will present them at the Throne;
And angel bands are waiting there

His messages of love to bear.

6 O, when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
The Lord Omnipotent is King!

Josiah Conder, 1824.
