Praise to Him whose name is Love,
Praise to Him who reigns above.
Raise your songs, raise your songs,
Now with thankful tongues.

2 Angels bright, angels bright,
Robed in garments pure and white,
Chant His praise, chant His praise,
In melodious lays;

But from that bright, happy throng,
Ne'er can come this sweetest song:
Redeeming love, redeeming love
Brought us here above."

3 Far away, far away,

We in sin's dark valley lay;
Jesus came, Jesus came,
Blessèd be His name!
He redeemed us by His grace,
Then prepared in heaven a place
To receive, to receive

All who will believe.

4 Now we know, now we know
We from earth must shortly go;
Soon the call, soon the call

Comes to one and all.

Saviour, when our time shall come,
Take us to our heavenly home:
There we'll raise notes of praise
Through unending days.

Miss J. W. Sampson.

YOME, ye children, sweetly sing
Praises to your Saviour King;
Hearts and voices gladly bring:
Praise His name!

2 Jesus is the children's Friend,
Loving, faithful, to the end;
Richest gifts from Him descend,—
Joy and peace.

3 Once from heaven to earth He came,
Suffered death, contempt, and blame,
Died upon a cross of shame,

Crowned with thorns.

4 "Twas our sinful souls to save
Thus His precious blood He gave !
Ransomed now from sin's dark grave,
We may sing.

5 Oh, what boundless grace and love,
Passing all our thoughts above!
Fear and unbelief remove,
At the cross.

6 Blessed Jesus, loving, kind,
We would early seek and find;
And our souls in covenant bind,
Thine to be.

7 For our sins we deeply grieve,
But Thy promise we believe-
"Him that cometh I receive :"
Lord, we come.

8 Help us love Thee more and more,
Serve Thee truly evermore,

Till Thy mercy we adore

In heaven above.

COME, ye children, praise the Saviour!

He regards you from above;
Praise Him for His great salvation !
Praise Him for His precious love!

Sweet hosannas to the name of Jesus sing!

2 When He left His throne in glory,
When He lived with mortals here,
Little children sang His praises,
And it pleased His gracious ear.

3 When the anxious mothers round Him,
With their tender infants pressed;
He with open arms received them,
And the little ones He blessed.

4 Up in yonder spirit-regions,

Angels sound the chorus high;
Twice ten thousand times ten thousand
Sound His praises through the sky.

5 Come, ye children, praise the Saviour!
Praise Him, your undying Friend!
Praise Him, till in heaven you meet Him,
There to praise Him without end.

2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus ;"

66

'Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For He was slain for us."

3 Jesus is worthy to receive

Honour and power divine;

And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation joins in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

WE praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy love,

For Jesus who died, and is now gone above.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again. 2 We praise Thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Saviour, and scattered our night; 3 All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain,

Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed every stain.

4 All glory and praise to the God of all grace

Who has bought us, and sought us, and guided our ways. 5 Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. 6 Revive us again; rouse the dead from their tomb; May they now come to Jesus, while yet there is room. Dr. W. P. Mackay.

REJOICE and be glad! The Redeemer has come !

Go look on His cradle, His cross, and His tomb!

Sound His praises, tell the Story of Him who was slain; Sound His praises, tell with gladness, He liveth again. 2 Rejoice and be glad! it is sunshine at last; The clouds have departed, the shadows are past. 3 Rejoice and be glad! for the blood hath been shed; Redemption is finished, the price hath been paid.

4 Rejoice and be glad! now the pardon is free; The Just for the unjust has died on the tree.

5 Rejoice and be glad! for the Lamb that was slain O'er death is triumphant, and liveth again.

6 Rejoice and be glad! for our King is on high; He pleadeth for us on His throne in the sky.

7 Rejoice and be glad! for He cometh again; He cometh in glory, the Lamb that was slain.

LL hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

2 Ye saints redeemed of Adam's race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,

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,
Join in the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all.

WAKE, and sing the song

Aof Moses and the Lamb!

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

Sing of His dying love,

Sing of His rising power!

Sing how He intercedes above,
For us whose sins He bore!

Ye pilgrims on the road

To Zion's city, sing!

Rejoice ye in the Lamb of God,

In Christ th' eternal King

Soon shall we hear Him say,
"Ye blessed children, come !"
Soon will He call us hence away,
To our eternal home.

There shall our raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

AWAKE, my soul, in joyful lays,

Watts.

And sing thy great Redeemer's praise:
He justly claims a song from thee:
His lovingkindness, oh, how free!

2 He saw me ruined in the fall,

Yet loved me notwithstanding all:
He saved me from my lost estate;
His lovingkindness, oh, how great!
3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood:
His lovingkindness, oh, how good!
4 Often I feel my sinful heart

35

Prone from my Saviour to depart;
But though I have Him oft forgot,
His lovingkindness changes not.

ISE, my soul, with joy and gladness,
And the praise of Jesus sing;

He removes the cause of sadness,
Only Jesus life could bring :
He redeemed me;
Glory, glory, to my King!

2 He, to blot out my transgression,
Died, and set the prisoner free;
How I love this true confession,-
Jesus died, He died for me:
He redeemed me;

Greater love could never be.

3 Well He knew my lost condition,
Sinless offering God must have:
Vain my tears and deep contrition,
Nought that I could do would save:
He redeemed me,

For His precious life He gave.
