 Lamb of God, whose bleeding love, 35 
 
 Lord, at this closing hour, 39 
 
 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing, 36 
 
 Lord, now we part in thy blest name, 37

 Oh, could I speak the matchless worth, 6 
 
 Oh, where are kings and empires now, 2z 
 
 On the mountain's top appearing, 26

 Ye servants of the Lord, , 15 
 
 Your harps, ye trembling saints, 17

 Let the Creator's praise arise :

 Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, 
 Till suns shall rise and set no more.

 Around the eternal throne, 
 Of every kindred, clime, and land, 
 A multitude unknown. 
 
 2 Toil, trial, suffering, still await 
 
 On earth the pilgrims' throng, 
 Yet learn we, in our low estate, 
 The Church Triumphant's song. 
 
 3 " Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain," 
 
 Cry the redeemed above, 
 " Blessing and honor to obtain, 
 And everlasting love ! " 
 
 4 " Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing, 
 
 " Who died our souls to save ! 
 Henceforth, O Death ! where is thy sting ! 
 Thy victory, Grave ! " 
 
5. ROCKINGHAM. 
 
 1 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong ; 
 Crown him, ye nations, in your song : 
 
 His wondrous names and powers rehearse ; 
 His honors shall enrieh your verse. 
 
 2 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms ; 
 How terrible is (rod in arms 1 
 
 In Israel are his mercies known, 
 Israel i-s his peculiar throne. 
 
 3 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest ; 
 He's your defence, your joy, your rest; 
 When terrors rise, and nations taint, 
 
 God is the strength of every saint. 
 
 6. ARIEL. 
 
 1 Oh, could I speak the matchless worth, 
 Oh, could I sound the glories forth, 
 
 Which in my Saviour shine ! 
 I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, 
 And vie with Gabriel, while he sings 
 
 In notes almost divine. 
 
 2 Fd sing the precious blood he spilt, 
 My ransom from the dreadful guilt 
 
 Of sin, and wrath divine! 
 Fd sing his glorious righteousness, 
 In which all perfect, heavenly dress 
 
 My soul shall ever shine. 
 
 3 Fd sing the characters he bears, 
 And all the forms of love he wears, 
 
 Exalted on his throne : 
 In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, 
 I would to everlasting days 
 
 Make all his glories known. 
 
 4 Well — the delightful day will come, 
 When my dear Lord will bring me home. 
 
 And I shall see his face : 
 Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, 
 A blest eternity I'll spend, 
 
 Triumphant in his grace.

 Let earth receive her Kinff ; 
 Let every heart prepare him room, 
 And heaven and nature sing". 
 
 «3 Joy to the world ! the Saviour reigns ! 
 
 Let men their songs employ ; _ 
 
 While fields and Hoods, rocks, hills, and plains 
 Repeat the sounding joy. 
 
 3 No more let sin and sorrow grow, 
 
 Nor thorns infest the ground : 
 He comes to make his blessings flow 
 Far as the curse is found. 
 
 4 He rules the world with truth and grace, 
 
 And makes the nations prove 
 The glories of his righteousness, 
 And wonders of his love.

9. ST. THOMAS. 
 
 1 Come, we who love the Lord, 
 And let our joys he known ; 
 Join in a -song of sweet accord, 
 And thus surround the throne. 
 
 H The men of grace have found 
 Glory begun helow ; 
 Celestial fruits on earthly ground 
 From faith and hope may grow. 
 
 3 The hill of Zion yields 
 
 A thousand sacred sweets. 
 Before we reach the heavenly fields 
 Or walk the golden streets. 
 
 4 Then let our songs abound, 
 
 And every tear he dry ; 
 We're marching through Immanuels ground 
 To fairer worlds on high. 
 
 lO. DENFIELD. 
 
 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs 
 With angels round the throne : 
 Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, 
 But all their joys are one.

 " To be exalted thus !" 
 " Worthy the Lamb f our lips reply 7 , 
 " For he was slain for us."

 1 Stand up ! — stand up for Jesus f 
 
 Ye soldiers of the cross !

 Till every foe is vanquished, 
 And Christ is Lord indeed.

 Your courage rise with danger. 
 
 And strength to strength oppose.

 Shall reign eternally. 
 
 12. ARLINGTON. 
 
 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path 
 
 By ancient worthies trod ; 
 Aspiring", view those holy men 
 Who lived and walked with God. 
 
 2 'Twas through the Lamb's most precious blood 
 
 They conquered every foe ; 
 And to his power, and matchless grace, 
 Their crowns of life they owe. 
 
 3 Lord, may I ever keep in view 
 
 The patterns- thou hast given, 
 
 And ne'er forsake the blessed road 
 
 That led them safe to Heaven E 
 
13. MAITLAND. 
 
 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone, 
 
 And all the world go free ? 
 
 No, there's a cross for every one, 
 
 And there's a cross for me. 
 
 2 This consecrated cross I'll bear, 
 
 Till death shall set me free, 
 And then go home my crown to wear, 
 For there's a crown for me. 
 
 3 Upon the crystal pavement, down 
 
 At Jesus' pierced feet, 
 Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown, 
 And his dear name repeat. 
 
 4 And palms shall wave, and harps shall rin; 
 
 Beneath heaven's arches high ; 
 The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing, 
 That lives no more to die. 
 
 5 Oh, precious cross ! 0. glorious crown ! 
 
 Oh, resurrection day ! 
 Ye angels, from the stars come down, 
 And bear my soul away. 
 
 14z. STATE STREET. 
 
 1 I love thy kingdom, Lord, 
 
 The house of thine abode, 
 The Church, our blest Redeemer saved 
 With his own precious blood. 
 
 2 For her my tears shall fall, 
 
 For her my prayers ascend ; 
 To her my cares and toils be given, 
 Till toils and cares shall end. 
 
 3 Beyond my highest joy 
 
 I prize her heavenly ways, 
 Her sweet communion, solemn vows, 
 Her hymns of love and praise. 
 
 4 Sure as thy truth shall last, 
 
 To Zion shall be given 
 The brightest glories earth can yield, 
 And brighter bliss of heaven. 
 
1 Ye servants of the Lord f 
 
 Each in his office wait. 
 Observant of his heavenly word, 
 And watchful at his gate. 
 
 2 Let all your lamps be bright, 
 
 And trim the golden flame ; 
 Gird up your loins as in his sight, 
 For awful is his name. 
 
 3 Watch, — 'tis your Lord's command 
 
 And while we speak he's near; 
 Mark the first signal of his hand, 
 And ready all appear. 
 
 4 Oh, happy servant he, 
 
 In such a posture found I 
 He shall his Lord with rapture see, 
 And be with honor crowned. 
 
 16. CHRISTMAS. 
 
 1 Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve, 
 
 And press with vigor on ; 
 A heavenly race demands thy zeal, 
 And an immortal crown. 
 
 2 A cloud of witnesses around 
 
 Hold thee in full survey ; 
 Forget the steps already trod, 
 And onward urge thy way. 
 
 3 'Tis God's all-animating voice, 
 
 That calls thee from on high ; 
 'Tis his own hand presents the prize 
 To thine aspiring eye. 
 
 4 Blest Saviour, introduced by thee, 
 
 Have I my race begun ; 
 And, crowned with victory, at thy feet 
 I'll lay my honors down.

 17. OLMUTZ. 
 
 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, 
 Down from the willows take ; 
 Loud to the praise of love divine, 
 Bid every string awake. 
 
 "2 Though in a. foreign land, 
 We are not far from home, 
 And nearer to our house above 
 We every moment come. 
 
 3 When we in darkness walk, 
 
 Nor feel the heavenly flame, 
 Then is the time to trust our God, 
 And rest upon his name. 
 
 4 Soon shall our doubts and fears 
 
 Subside at his control ; 
 His loving-kindness shall break through 
 The midnight of the souL 
 
 5 Blest is the man, O God, 
 
 That stays himself on thee ! 
 Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, 
 Shall thv salvation see. 
 
 18. HAMBURG. 
 
 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, 
 
 On which the Prince of glory died, 
 My richest gain I count but loss, 
 And pour contempt on all my pride. 
 
 2 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, 
 
 Sorrow and love flow mingled down 
 Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, 
 Or thorns compose so rich a crown ? 
 
 3 His dying crimson, like a robe, 
 
 Spreads o'er his body on the tree ; 
 Then I am dead to all the globe, 
 And all the globe is dead to me. 
 
 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, 
 
 That were a present far too small ; 
 Love so amazing, so divine, 
 
 Demands my soul, my life, my all. 
 
19. TJXBHIDGE. 
 
 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord f 
 
 In every star thy wisdom shines ; 
 
 But when our eyes behold thy word, 
 
 We read thy name in fairer lines. 
 
 2 The rolling sun, the changing' light, 
 
 And nights and days thy power confess J 
 But the blest vol utne thou hast writ, 
 Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 
 
 3 Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise 
 
 Round the whole earth, and never stand 
 So, when thy truth began its race, 
 It touched and glanced on every land, 
 
 4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, 
 
 Till through the world thy truth has run 
 Till Christ has all the nations blessed 
 That see the light, or feel the sun. 
 
 20, OLNEY. 
 
 1 Sow in the morn thy seed ; 
 
 At eve hold not thy hand ; 
 To doubt and fear give thou no heed 
 Broadcast it o'er the land I 
 
 2 And duly shall appear, 
 
 In verdure, beauty, strength, 
 The tender blade, the stalk, the ear r 
 And the full corn at length, 
 
 3 Thou canst not toil in vain ; 
 
 Cold, heat, and moist, and dry, 
 . Shall foster and mature the grain 
 For garners in the sky. 
 
 4 Then, when the glorious end, 
 
 The day of God shall come, 
 The angel-reapers shall descend, 
 And heaven cry, " Harvest home V

 21. MISSIONARY HYMN. 
 
 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, 
 
 From India's coral strand, 
 Where Afric's sunny fountains 
 
 Roll down their golden sand ; 
 From many an ancient river, 
 
 From many a palmy plain, 
 They call us to deliver 
 
 Their laud from error's chain. 
 
 What though the spicy breezes 
 
 Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle — 
 Though every prospect pleases, 
 
 And only man is vile ? — 
 In vain with lavish kindness 
 
 The gifts of God are strown ; 
 The heathen, in his blindness, 
 
 Bows down to wood and stone. 
 
 Shall we, whose souls are lighted 
 
 With wisdom from on high, — 
 Shall we, to men benighted, 
 
 The lamp of life deny ? 
 Salvation ! Oh, Salvation ! — 
 
 The joyful sound proclaim, 
 Till earth's remotest nation, 
 
 Has learned Messiah's name. 
 
 Waft — waft, ye winds ! his story, 
 
 And you, ye waters, roll, — 
 Till, like a sea of glory, 
 
 It spreads from pole to pole ! 
 Till o'er our ransomed nature 
 
 The Lamb for sinners slain, 
 Redeemer, King, Creator, 
 
 In bliss returns to reign ! 
 
14 
 
 22. ST. ANN'S. 
 
 1 Oh, where are kings and empires now 
 Of old that went and came ? 
 But, Lord, thy Church is praying yet, 
 A thousand years the same. 
 
 2 We mark her goodly battlements, 
 
 And her foundations strong ; 
 We hear within the solemn voice 
 Of her unending song. 
 
 3 For not like kingdoms of the world 
 
 Thy holy Church, O God ! 
 Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, 
 And tempests are abroad. 
 
 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, 
 
 Immovable she stands ; 
 A mountain that shall fill the earth, 
 A house not made by hands. 
 
 23» ANVERN. 
 
 1 Triumphant Zion ! lift thy head, 
 From dust and darkness, and the dead ; 
 Though humbled long, awake at length, 
 And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength. 
 
 2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, 
 And let thy various charms be known ; 
 The world thy glories shall confess, 
 Decked in the robes of righteousness, 
 
 3 No more shall foes unclean invade, 
 And fill thy hallowed walls with dread ; 
 No more shall hell's insulting host 
 Their victory and thy sorrows boast. 
 
 4 God, from on high, thy groans will hear ; 
 His hands thy ruins shall repair ; 
 
 Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease 
 To guard thee in eternal peace.

 24, WEBB. 
 
 Hail to the Lor.d'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. 
 
 He shall come down, like showers 
 
 Upon the fruitful earth, 
 And love, and joy, like flowers, 
 
 Spring in his path to birth : 
 Before him on the mountains, 
 
 Shall peace, the herald, go ; 
 And righteousness in fountains, 
 
 From hill to valley flow. 
 
 For him shall prayer unceasing 
 
 And daily vows ascend ; 
 His kingdom still increasing, — 
 
 A kingdom without end : 
 The tide of time shall never 
 
 His covenant remove ; 
 His name shall stand forever, — 
 
 That name to us is — Love.

 25. WARD. 
 
 1 God is the refuge of his taints, 
 When storms of sharp distress invade 
 Ere we can offer our complaints, 
 Behold him present with his aid. 
 
 2 There is a stream whose gentle flow 
 Supplies the city of our God, 
 
 Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, 
 And watering our divine abode. 
 
 3 That sacred stream, thine holy Word, 
 Our grief allays, our fear controls ; 
 Sweet peace thy promises afford, 
 
 And give new strength to fainting souls. 
 
 4 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, 
 Secure against a threatening hour ; 
 Nor can her firm foundation move, 
 
 Built on his truth, and armed with power. 
 
 26. zion. 
 
 1 On the mountain's top appearing, 
 
 Lo ! the sacred herald stands, 
 
 Welcome news to Zion bearing — 
 
 Zion, long in hostile lands ! 
 
 Mourning captive ! 
 God himself shall loose thy bands ! 
 
 2 God, thy God, will now restore thee ; 
 
 He himself appears thy Friend ; 
 All thy foes shall flee before thee ; 
 Here their boasts and triumphs end ; 
 
 Great deliverance 
 Zion's King will surely send. 
 
 3 Peace and joy shall now attend thee ; 
 
 All thy warfare now is past ; 
 God thy Saviour will defend thee ; 
 Victory is thine at last ; 
 
 All thy conflicts 
 End in everlasting rest.

 1 Wake the song of jubilee, 
 Let it echo o'er the sea ! 
 Now is come the promised hour ; 
 Jesus reigns with glorious power I 
 
 .3 All ye nations, join and sing*, 
 
 Praise your Saviour, praise your King ; 
 Let it sound from shore to shore — 
 " Jesus reigns forevermore !" 
 
 3 Hark ! the desert lands rejoice ; 
 And the islands join their voice ; 
 Joy ! the whole creation sinsrs, — 
 " Jesus is the King of kings !" 
 
 28. CHRISTMAS. 
 
 1 Daughter of Zion ! from the dust 
 
 Exalt thy fallen head ; 
 Again in thy Redeemer trust, — 
 He calls thee from the dead. 
 
 2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, — 
 
 Thy beautiful array ; 
 Thy day of freedom dawns at length, — 
 The Lord's appointed day. 
 
 3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, 
 
 And send thy heralds forth ; 
 Say to the south, — " Give up thy charge, 
 And keep not back, O north !" 
 
 4 They come, they come ; — thine exiled bands, 
 
 Where'er they rest or roam, 
 Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 
 And hasten to their home. 
 
 5 Thus, though the universe shall burn, 
 
 And God his works destroy, 
 With songs, thy ransomed shall return, 
 Aud everlasting joy.

 1 Ye Christian heralds! go, proclaim 
 Salvation through Immanuel's name ; 
 To distant climes the tidings bear, 
 And plant the rose of Sharon there. 
 
 1 He'll shield you with a wall of fire, 
 With flaming zeal your breast inspire, 
 Bid raging winds their fury cease, 
 And hush the tempest into peace. 
 
 3 And when our labors all are o'er, 
 Then we shall meet to part no more, — 
 Meet with the blood-bought throng, to fall, 
 And crown our Jesus — Lord of all ! 
 
 SO. SHIRLAND. 
 
 1 How beauteous are their feet 
 
 Who stand on Zion's hill ! 
 Who brino- salvation on their tongues, 
 And words of peace reveal. 
 
 2 How charming is their voice ! 
 
 How sweet their tidings are ! 
 
 "Zion, behold thy Saviour Kintr ; 
 
 He reigns and triumphs here." 
 
 3 How happy are our ears. 
 
 That hear this joyful sound! 
 Which kings and prophets waited for, 
 And sought, but never found. 
 
 4 How blessed are our eyes, 
 
 That see this heavenly light ! 
 Prophets and kings desired it long, 
 But died without the sight. 
 
 5 The watchmen join their voice, 
 
 A\\(\ tuneful notes employ ; 
 Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, 
 And deserts learn the joy. 
 
 G The Lord makes bare his arm 
 Through all the eartli abroad ; 
 Let every nation now behold 
 Their Saviour and their God.

 SI. ROCK OF AGES. 
 
 1 Rock of ao-es ! cleft for me, 
 Let me hide myself in thee : 
 Let the water and the blood, 
 From thy wounded side that flowed, 
 Be of sin the perfect cure ; 
 
 Save me, Lord, and make me pure. 
 
 2 Should my tears forever flow, 
 Should my zeal no languor know, 
 This for sin could ne'er atone ; 
 Thou must save, and thou alone ; 
 In my hand no price I bring, 
 Simply to thy cross I cling. 
 
 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, 
 When mine eye-lids close in death, 
 When I rise to worlds unknown, 
 And behold thee on thy throne, — 
 Rock of a<res ! cleft for me, 
 
 Let me hide myself in thee. 
 
 32. DUNDEE. 
 
 1 How sweet and awful is the place, 
 
 With Christ within the doors ; 
 While everlasting love displays 
 Tiie choicest of her stores. 
 
 2 While all our hearts, and all our songs, 
 
 Join to admire the feast, 
 Each of us cries, with thankful tongue, — 
 " Lord, why was I a guest ?" 
 
 3 'Twas the same love that spread the feast, 
 
 That sweetly drew us in ; 
 Else we had still refused to taste. 
 And perished in our sin. 
 
 4 Pity the nations, O our God ! 
 
 Constrain the earth to come ; 
 Send thy victorious word abroad, 
 And brincr the strangers home.

 33. OLIVET. 
 
 My faith looks up to thee, 
 Thou Lamb of Calvary, 
 
 Saviour divine ! 
 Now hear me while I pray ; 
 Take all my guilt away ; 
 Oh, let me, from this day, 
 
 Be wholly thine ! 
 
 2 May thy rich grace impart 
 Strength to my fainting heart ; 
 
 My zeal inspire ; 
 As thou hast died for me, 
 Oh ! may my love to thee 
 Pure, warm, and changeless be- 
 
 A living fire. 
 
 3 While life's dark maze I tread, 
 And griefs around me spread, 
 
 Be thou my Guide ; 
 Bid darkness turn to day, 
 Wipe sorrow's tear away, 
 Nor let me ever stray 
 
 From thee aside. 
 
 When ends life's transient dream, 
 When death's cold sullen stream 
 
 Shall o'er me roll. 
 Blest Saviour ! then in love, 
 Fear and distrust remove ; 
 Oh ! bear me safe above, — 
 
 A ransomed soul. 
 
 34. ALETTA. 
 
 When on Sinai's top I see 
 God descend, in majesty, 
 To proclaim his holy law, 
 All my spirit sinks with awe. 
 
21 
 
 2 When in ecstacy sublime, 
 Tabor's glorious steep I climb ; 
 At the too transporting light, 
 Darkness rushes o'er my sight. 
 
 3 When on Calvary I rest, 
 God in flesh made manifest, 
 Shines in my Redeemer's face, 
 Full of beauty, truth, and grace. 
 
 4 Here I would forever stay, 
 Weep and gaze my soul away ; 
 Thou art heaven on earth to me, 
 Lovely, mournful Calvary ! 
 
 35, AMSTERDAM. 
 
 1 Lamb of God ! whose bleeding love 
 
 We now recall to mind, 
 Send the answer from above, 
 
 And let us mercy find : 
 Think on us, who think on thee, 
 
 Every burdened soul release ; 
 Oh, remember Calvary, 
 
 And bid us go in peace ! 
 
 2 By thine agonizing pain, 
 
 And bloody sweat, we pray — 
 By thy dying love to man, 
 
 Take all our sins away : 
 Burst our bonds, and set us free, 
 
 From all sin do thou release ; 
 Oh, remember Calvary, 
 
 And bid us go in peace ! 
 
 3 Let thy blood, by faith applied, 
 
 The sinner's pardon seal ; 
 Own us freely justified, 
 
 And all our sickness heal : 
 By thy passion on the tree, 
 
 Let our griefs and troubles cease 
 Oh, remember Calvary, 
 
 And bid us go in peaco !

 36. GREENVILLE. 
 
 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing, 
 Fill our hearts with joy and peace 
 
 Let us each, thy love possessing, 
 Triumph in redeeming grace ; 
 
 Oh, refresh us, 
 Traveling through this wilderness. 
 
 Thanks we give, and adoration, 
 For thy gospel's joyful sound ; 
 
 May the fruits of thy salvation 
 In our hearts and lives abound ; 
 
 Ma}* thy presence, 
 With us evermore be found. 
 
 So, whene'er the signal's given 
 Us from earth to call away, 
 
 Borne on angel's wings to heaven, 
 Glad the summons to obey, 
 May we ever 
 
 Reign with Christ in endless day.

 1 Lord, now we part in thy blest name, 
 In which we here together came ; 
 Grant us, our lew remaining days, 
 
 To work thy will, and spread thy praise ! 
 
 2 Teach us in life and death to bless 
 Thee, Lord, our strength and righteous- 
 ness ; 
 
 Grant that we all may meet above, 
 Where we shall better sing thy love. 
 
 3 To God the Father, God the Son, 
 And God the Spirit, Three in One, 
 Be honor, praise, and glory given, 
 By all on earth, and all in heaven.

 3S. BOYLSTON. 
 
 1 Blest be the tie that binds 
 
 Our hearts in Christian love ; 
 The fellowship of kindred minds, 
 Is like to that above. 
 
 2 Before our Father's throne 
 
 We pour our ardent prayers ; 
 Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, 
 Our comforts, and our cares. 
 
 3 When we asunder part, 
 
 It gives us inward pain ; 
 Bui we shall still be joined in heart, 
 And hope to meet again. 
 
 4 Tins glorious hope revives 
 
 Our courage by the way ; 
 While each in expectation lives, 
 And longs to see the day. 
 
 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, 
 
 And sin, we shall be free, 
 And perfect love and friendship reign 
 Through all eternity. 
 
 39. LABAN. 
 
 1 Loud, at this closing hour, 
 Establish every heart 
 Upon thy word of truth and power 
 To keep us when we part. 
 
 2. Peace to our brethren give ; 
 Fill all our hearts with love ; 
 In faith and patience may we live, 
 And seek our rest above. 
 
 3 Through changes, bright or drear, 
 
 We would thy will pursue ; 
 And toil to spread thy kindom here, 
 Till we its glory view. 
 
 4 To God, the Only Wise, 
 
 In every age adored, 
 Let glory from the church arise 
 Throucrh Jesus Christ our Lord ! 
 
rder of irxerriaea.
