9:3

9:

2 Awake, my soul! and sing

Of Him who died for Thee;
And hail Him as thy matchless King,
Through all eternity.

3 Crown Him, the Lord of love!
Behold His hands and side,-
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified:

4 Crown Him, the Lord of peace!

Whose power a sceptre sways,
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise:

5 Crown Him, the Lord of years!
The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime!

Matthew Bridges, 1847.

AWAKE, and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb;

Wake, every heart, and every tongue! To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of His dying love;

Sing of His rising power; Sing--how He intercedes above

For those whose sins He bore.

HARK the notes of angels, singing,
"Glory, glory to the Lamb!"
All in heaven their tribute bringing,
Raising high the Saviour's name.
2 Ye, for whom His life was given!
Sacred themes to you belong;
Come, assist the choir of heaven;
Join the everlasting song.

3 See, th' angelic hosts have crowned Him,
Jesus fills the throne on high:
Countless myriads, hovering round Him,
With His praises rend the sky.

4 Filled with holy emulation,
Let us vie with those above;
Sweet the theme-a free salvation!
Fruit of everlasting love.

CHRIST, above all glory seated,
King eternal, strong to save,
Dying, Thou hast death defeated;
Buried, Thou hast spoiled the grave!
2 Thou art gone where now is given
What no mortal might could gain,
On th' eternal throne of heaven,

In Thy Father's power to reign.

3 There Thy kingdoms all adore Thee,
Heaven above and earth below,
While the depths of hell before Thee
Trembling and defeated bow.

4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
Follow Thee above the sky;
Hear our prayers Thy grace imploring,
Lift our souls to Thee on high.

5 So when Thou again in glory

On the clouds of heaven shalt shine, We Thy flock may stand before Thee, Owned for evermore as Thine.

James Russell Woodford, 1863. (?)

உ

The gladly solemn sound;

Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound,of jubilee is come;

The year

Return, ye ransomed sinners! home.

3 Extol the Lamb of God,

The all-atoning Lamb,
Redemption in His blood,

Throughout the world proclaim;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners! home.

4 Ye, who have sold for naught
Your heritage above!
Shall have it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners! home.

Gon is gone up on high,
With a triumphant noise;
The clarions of the sky

Proclaim th' angelic joys:
Join, all on earth! rejoice and sing;
Glory ascribe to glory's King.

2 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.

3 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. Charles Wesley, 1746.
