63.

Jesus risen from the dead;
Jesus conqu'ror o'er the grave;
Jesus mighty now to save.

2 Jesus is gone up on high,

Angels come to meet their King';
Shouts triumphant rend the sky,
While the Victor's praise they sing:
"Open now, ye heav'nly gates!
'Tis the King of Glory waits."

3 Jesus, on Thy people shine,

Warm our hearts and tune our tongues,
That with angels we may join,

Share their bliss and swell their songs:
Glory, honour, praise, and power,
Lord be Thine for evermore.

1 GLORY to God on high,
Peace upon earth and joy!
Good will to men!

Ye who His blessing prove,
Join with the hosts above,
Sing ye the Saviour's love.
Our God is love.

2 Mercy and truth unite,
This is a joyful sight!
All sights above.

Jesus the curse sustains,
Bitter the cup He drains;
Nothing for us remains.
Our God is love.

3 Love, that no tongue can teach,
Love that no thought can reach ;
No love like His:

Heav'n is its blessed source,
Death could not stop its course;
Nothing can stay its force.
Our God is love.

4 Join then this love to sing,
To God our praise we'll bring,
For sins forgiv❜n.
Jesus, our Lord, to Thee
Honor and majesty,

Now and for ever be,

Here and in heav'n.

GREAT God! when I approach Thy throne,

And all Thy glory see;

This is my hope, and this alone,

That Jesus died for me.

2 How can a soul condemn'd to die,
Escape Thy just decree?
A worthless sinner, Lord, am I;
But Jesus died for me.

3 Burden'd with sin's oppressive chain,
Oh how can I get free?

No

efforts gain,

peace can all my
But Jesus died for me.

4 My course I could not safely steer,
Through life's tempestuous sea;
Did not this truth relieve my fear,
That Jesus died for me!

1 GOOD is the Lord, our Heavenly King,
Who makes the earth to yield;

His clouds drop fatness from above;
He whitens ev'ry field.

2 Good is the Lord; His lib'ral hand
Is daily open'd wide,

To scatter plenty through our land,
That all may be supplied.

3 Good is the Lord: He gives us bread;
He gives His people more.

By Him their souls with grace are fed,
A boundless, richer store.

C. M.

1 GLORY to God, who gave the Word,
And bid the preachers cry;

Who caus'd His will to be proclaim'd,
And brought salvation nigh.

2 O may Thy Word direct our path,
And guide our falt'ring feet,
Direct us in the living way,
And to Thy mercy-seat!

67.

68.

3 Fill ev'ry hungry soul with grace,
From Thine exhaustless store;
Let no one empty go from hence,
But taste, and pray for more !

4 Let all Thy children, Lord, be fed
With the eternal Word;

Be wise, and stronger grow thereby,
Increasing in the Lord!

7's.

1 GOD of union, God of love!
With Thy sanctifying pow'r,
From the realms of light above,
Bless us in this sacred hour!

2 Holy Ghost, descend and bring
Heavenly peace and godly fear;
And beneath Thy guardian wing
Shelter all before Thee here.

3 Make us faithful to the end,
Whilst our duties we fulfil;
And the promis'd blessing send,
Like the dew on Hermon's hill.

L. M.

1 GLORY to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light :
Keep me, oh keep me! King of kings.
Beneath Thine own almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed:
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the judgment-day.

4 Lord, let my soul for ever share
The bliss of Thy paternal care :
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see Thy face, and sing Thy love.

1 HOSANNA! raise the pealing Hymn
To David's Son and Lord;
With Cherubim and Seraphim,
Exalt th' Incarnate Word.

2 Hosanna! Sovereign, Prophet, Priest,
How vast Thy gifts,-how free!
Thy blood, our life-Thy Word, our feast-
Thy name, our only plea.

3 Hosanna! Jesus, lo! we bring

Our off'rings to Thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor earthly thing,
But hearts to be Thine own.

4 O Saviour! if, redeem'd by Thee,
Thy temple we behold;
Hosannas, through eternity,
We'll sing to harps of gold!
