REJOI

ASCENSION.

HYMN 35. P. M.

EJOICE, the Lord is King;
Your God and King adore:
Ye saints, give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore.

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

2.

Jesus the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love! When he had washed our stains, He took his seat above. Lift up the heart, lift up the 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 the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4.

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

With pure seraphic joy:

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

5.

Rejoice in glorious hope,
Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home.

We soon shall hear th'archangel's voice,
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice.

COME

WHIT-SUNDAY.

HYMN 36. C. M.

YOME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;

Kindle a flame of sacred love

In these cold hearts of ours.

2.

See how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys:
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys.

3.

In vain we tune our lifeless songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.

4.

Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?

Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?

5.

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

HE'S

HYMN 37. C. M.

E'S come, let every knee be bent,
All hearts new joy resume;

Sing, ye redeemed, with one consent,
"The Comforter is come."

What greater gift, what greater love,
Could God on man bestow?
Angels for this rejoice above,
Let man rejoice below.

3.

Hail, blessed Spirit! may each soul
Thy sacred influence feel;

Do thou each sinful thought control,
And fix our wavering zeal.

4.

Thou to the conscience dost convey
Those checks which we should know:
Thy motions point to us the way;
Thou giv'st us strength to go.

HYMN 38. S. M.

COME, Holy Spirit, come:

Let thy bright beams arise;

Dispel the sorrow from our minds
The darkness from our eyes.

2.

Revive our drooping faith,

Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love.

3.

Convince us of our sin;

Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The mercies of our God.

TRINITY SUNDAY.

HYMN 39. L. M.

HOLY, holy, holy Lord,

Bright in thy deeds and in thy Name, For ever be thy Name adored, Thy glories let the world proclaim.

2.

O Jesus, Lamb once crucified
To take our load of sins away,
Thine be the hymn that rolls its tide
Along the realms of upper day.

3.

O Holy Spirit from above,

In streams of light and glory given, Thou source of ecstacy and love,

Thy praises ring through earth and heaven.

O God Triune, to thee we owe
Our every thought, our every song;
And ever may thy praises flow

From saint and seraph's burning tongue.

HYMN 40. L. M.

ATHER of all, whose love profound A ransom for our souls hath found, Before thy throne we sinners bend; To us thy pardoning love extend.

2.

Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.

3.

Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.

4.

Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

HYMN 41. 8s, 7s, 4s.

HOLY Father, great Creator,

Source of mercy, love, and peace,
