I REJOICE, the Lord is King,
Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore :
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our'stains,
He took His seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

3 His kingdom cannot fail;

He rules o'er earth and Heaven; The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4 He sits at God's right hand

Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,

And fall beneath His feet:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

5 He all His foes shall quell,
Shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell

With pure seraphic joy :

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice; Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

1 GOD is gone up on high,

With a triumphant noise;
The anthems of the sky

Proclaim the angelic joys:
Join all on earth, rejoice and sing,
Glory ascribe to Glory's King!

2 God in the flesh below,
For us He reigns above;
Let all the nations know

The Saviour's conquering love : Join all on earth, rejoice and sing, Glory ascribe to Glory's King!

3 All power to our great Lord
Is by the Father given;
By angel hosts adored

He reigns supreme in heaven: Join all on earth, rejoice and sing, Glory ascribe to Glory's King!

4 Till all the earth renewed

In righteousness divine,
With all the hosts of God,

In one great chorus join: Join all on earth, rejoice and sing, | Glory ascribe to Glory's King!

4 There they see the Lord who bought them,

O Immanuel! Cloud by day! Jehovah-Angel! Fire by night! He led His Israel, So He leads us home.

Come, ye angels, round us gather,
While to Jesus we draw nearer;
In His throne He'll seat forever,
Those for whom He died.

5 Underneath His throne, a river
Clear as crystal flows forever,
Like His fulness, failing never :
Hail enthronéd Lamb!

sought them,

Him who by His Spirit taught them,

Him they serve and love.

Shoreless Ocean, sounded never!

Yesterday, to-day, forever,

Jesus Christ, the same.

I HAIL, Thou once despiséd Jesus!
Hail, Thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring;
Hail, Thou agonizing Saviour,

Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merits we find favor;

Life is given through Thy name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid;
By Almighty Love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made:
All Thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory!
There forever to abide ;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side:
There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare,
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honor, power and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give ;
Help, ye bright angelic spirits,

Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,

Help to chant Immanuel's praise! 216

I THOU hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places,

There with Thee in glory stand : Jesus reigns, adored by angels;

Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

2 Lift us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love, Gales of holy aspirations

Wafting us to realms above; That with hearts and minds uplifted We with Christ our Lord may dwell, Where He sits enthroned in glory In His heavenly citadel.

I I KNOW that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays
for me;

A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.

2 I find Him lifting up my head;

He brings salvation near; His presence makes me free indeed,

And He will soon appear.

3 He wills that I should holy be; What can withstand His will? The counsel of His grace in me

He surely shall fulfil.

4 Jesus, I hang upon Thy word,
I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive.

218

I DEAREST of all the names above,
My Jesus and my God,
Who can resist Thy heavenly love,

Or trifle with Thy blood?

2 'Tis by the merits of Thy death, The Father smiles again; 'Tis by Thine interceding breath, The Spirit dwells with men.

3 Till God in human flesh I see, My thoughts no comfort find; The holy, just, and sacred Three Are terrors to my mind.

4 But if Immanuel's face appear, My hope, my joy begins; His name forbids my slavish fear,

His grace removes my sins.

5 While Jews on their own law rely,
And Greeks of wisdom boast,
I love the Incarnate Mystery,
And there I fix my trust.

219

I HOSANNA! raise the pealing hymn
To David's Son and Lord;
With cherubim and seraphim
Exalt the Incarnate Word.

2 Hosanna! Master, lo, we bring
Our offerings to Thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be Thine own.

3 Hosanna! once Thy gracious ear
Approved a lisping throng;
Be gracious still, and deign to hear
Our poor but grateful song.

4 O Saviour, if redeemed by Thee,
Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.

DOXOLOGY.

To praise the Father and the Son,

And Spirit all divine,

The One in Three, and Three in One, Let saints and angels join.
