The Wonders of Redemption.
Who is like unto thee, doing wonders."

Exod. 15. (S: M.)
I SURVEY the wond'rous cure,

Let higher wonder rise,
Pardon for infinite offence,

Bought by infinite price.
9 A pardon bought with blood,

With blood divine of Him,
I made my foe, and still provok'd,

Tho' woo'd and aw'd I've been 3 Blest and chastis'd, I still,

A flagrant rebel stood,
Amid the thunders of his throne,

Oppos'd to all that's good. 4 Nor I alone rebell’d,,

A rebel universe,
My species up in arms appear'd,

And Calvary's suff'rer pierce. 6 Yet for the foulest wretch,

The Son of God expires,
Bound ev'ry heart, each bosom burn,
All beav'n resound your lyres.

RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

107.

The Captire Released. « The Lord is risea indeed.”—Luke 25. (L. M. , I UPRISING from the silent tomb,

See the victorious Jesus come,
The Almighty captive quits the pris'n,

And angels tell --" the Lord is ris'n." 2 Believers bless your risen head,

The first begotten from the dead,
Your resurrection's sure, thro' his,
To endless life, and boundless bliss.

The Risen Lord.

« Behold I am alive for evermore."

Rev. 1. (L. M.)

1 JESUS, once number'd with the dead

Unseals his eyes to sleep no more, And ever lives their cause to plead,

For whom the pains of death he boro. 2 Thy risen Lord my soul behold,

See the rich diadem he wears, Thou too shalt bear an harp of gold,

To crowu thy joy when he appears.

He Rises to Reign.

“ In Christ shall all be made alive."

1 Cor. 15. (L. M.)

I BEHOLD the wonders of his power,

He triumphs in his dying hour,
And while by Satan's rage he fell,

He dash'd the rising hopes of hell.
2 Then were the hosts of death subdued,

And sin was drown'd in Jesus blood,
Then he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.

Cherubic Legions.
“ Jesus said, All hail.”-Matt. 27. (L. M.)
I THE rising God forsakes the tomb,

In vain the tomb forbids his rise,
Cherubic legions guard him home,

And shout him welcome to the skies.

2 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell,

How high our great Deliverer reigns,
Sing how he spoil'd the hosts of hell,
And led the monster death in chains.

LADY H. COLLEOTION.

3 While Angels shout and praise their king :

Let Sailors learn their strains, Let all the earth his honors sing,

O’er all the earth be reigns
4 In Israel stood his ancient throne,

He lov'd that chosen race,
But now he calls the world his own,
And Sailors taste his grace.

EXALTATION OF CHRIST.

115.

The Elissful Choir.
“ Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and

honour, and power." Rev. 1. I NOW let us raise our cheerful strains,

And join the blissful choir above, There our exalted Saviour reigns,

And there they sing his wond'rous love. 2. While seraphs tune the immortal song,

O may we feel the sacred flame, And ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue, Adore the Saviour's glorious name.

Christ Exalted.
" Far above all principality and power."-Eph. l.
1 JESUS, the name high over all,

In hell, or earth, or sky,
Angels and men before it fall,

And devils fear and fly.

7 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,

The name to sinners given !
It scatters all their guilty fear,

It turns their hell to heaven.

3 Jesus, the prisoners fetters breaks,

And bruises Satan's head,
Power into strengthless souls it speaks,"

And life into the dead.
4 O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace !

The Prince of Life. " For he must reign till he hath put all enemies

under his feet.”-1 Cor. 15.

! HAIL to the Prince of Life and Peace,

Who holds the keys of death and hell, The spacious world unseen is his,

And sovereign power becomes him well. 2 Live, live for ever glorious Lord,

To crush thy foes, and guard thy friends, While all thy chosen tribes rejoice,

That thy dominion never ends. 3 For ever reign, victorious King,

Wide through the earth, thy name be known, And call my longing soul to sing Sublimer anthems near thy throne.
