2 Hark! the glad shouts, wide echoing round, Th' ascending God proclaim;

Th' angelic choir respond the sound,
And shake creation's frame.

3 They sing of death and hell o'erthrown In that triumphant hour;

And God exalts His conquering Son
To the right hand of power.

Harriet Auber, 1820

JESUS, immortal King! arise;

Assume, assert Thy sway;

Till earth, subdued, its tribute bring,
And distant lands obey.

2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride,
Till all Thy foes submit;
And all the powers of hell resign

Their trophies at Thy feet.

3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly,
This spacious earth around;
Till every soul, beneath the sun,
Shall hear the joyful sound.

4 From sea to sea, from shore to shore, May Jesus be adored;

And earth, with all her millions, shout Hosannas to the Lord.

The paschal victory to hymn
In strains of holy joy.

2 For Judah's Lion bursts His chains,
Crushing the serpent's head;

And cries aloud, through death's domains,
To wake th' imprisoned dead.

3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
At His command restore;
His ransomed hosts pursue their way
Where Jesus goes before.

4 Triumphant in His glory now,
To Him all power is given;
To Him in one communion bow
All saints in earth and heaven.

2 "He, whose powerful arm alone On His foes destruction hurled;

He, who hath the vict'ry won,

He, who saved a ruined world:

He, who God's pure law fulfilled,
Jesus, the incarnate Word;

He, whose truth with blood was sealed;
He is heaven's all-glorious Lord."
Harriet, Auber, 1829.

life is won;

2 Thou art gone in before us, Lord,
Thou hast prepared a place,
That we may be where now Thou art,
And look upon Thy face.

3 And ever on Thine earthly path
A gleam of glory lies;

A light still breaks behind the cloud
That veils Thee from our eyes.

209 Neander. 8s & 7s.

4 Lift up our thoughts, lift up our songs, And let Thy grace be given, That while we linger yet below,

Our hearts may be in heaven;

5 That where Thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love may be:

Dwell in us now, that we may dwell
For evermore in Thee.

Cecil Frances Alexander, 1858.

A-men.

2 Ere He raised the lofty mountains, Formed the sea, or spread the sky, Love eternal, free and boundless,

Moved the Lord of life to die; Fore-ordained the Prince of princes For the throne of Calvary.

3 Now above the sapphire pavement, High in unapproachéd light, Lo! He lives and reigns for ever,

Victor after hard-won fight,
Where the song of the redeeméd
Rings unceasing day and night.

4 Trust Him then, ye fearful pilgrims;
Who shall pluck you from His hand?
Pledged He stands for your salvation,—
Pledged to give the promised land,-
Where, among the ransomed nations
Ye, too, round His throne shall stand.
Job Hupton, 1856.
