1 ALL hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,

A remnant weak and small,

Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.

3 Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty_ascribe,

And crown him Lord of all.

4 Oh, that with yonder sacred throng We at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.

14 Hear him, ye deaf: his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ:
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

1 THE head that once was crowned with Is crowned with glory now; [thorns A royal diadem adorns

The mighty Victor's brow.

2 The highest place that heaven affords Is his by sovereign right;

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns in glory bright.

3 Jesus, the joy of all above!

The joy of all below,

To whom he manifests his love,

And grants his name to know.

4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace is given;
Their name—an everlasting name,
Their joy-the joy of heaven.

5 To them the cross is life and health,
Though shame and death to him:
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

Looking to Jesus.

1 IN humble notes our faith adores
The great, mysterious King;
While angels strain their nobler powers,
And sweep th' immortal string.

4 They love not, for they have not kissed 3 Apart from thee all gain is loss, The Saviour's outer hem;

[blocks in formation]

And labor vainly done;
The solemn shadow of thy cross

Is better than the sun.

4 Alone, O Love ineffable!

Thy saving name is given; To turn aside from thee is hell, To walk with thee is heaven.

Blessings of Christ's Reign.
1 HAIL to the Lord's Anointed!
Great David's greater Son;
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free!
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

2 He comes, with succor speedy,
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,

And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in his sight.
3 O'er every foe victorious,

He on his throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing, and all blest.
The tide of time shall never

His covenant remove;
His name shall stand forever,—
That name to us is- Love.

[blocks in formation]

Till every isle and nation,
Till every tribe and tongue,
Receive the great salvation,

And join the happy throng.

2 Yes,- thou shalt reign forever,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Thy light, thy love, thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings:
The isles for thee are waiting,

The deserts learn thy praise,
The hills and valleys greeting,
The song responsive raise.

Fear not, little Flock.

1 IN heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here:
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?

2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack:
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim:
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.

ANON.
