With shouting proclaim it,
O trust in his passion;
He saves us most freely-
O, precious salvation :
Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c.
4 With joy shall we stand,
When escap'd to the shore,
With harps in our hands,
We'll praise him the more;
We'll range the sweet plains
On the banks of the river,
And sing of salvation
For ever and for ever:
Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c.
HYMN 231. С. М.

1 HE'S come! let every knee be bent,
All hearts new joy resume:
Sing, ye redeemed with one consent,
"The Comforter is come."

2 What greater gift, what greater love,
Could God on man bestow?
mels for this rejoice above,

ng zeal!

ngth to go.

I THE God of life, whose constant care
With blessings crowns each opening year,
My scanty span doth still prolong,
And wakes anew mine annual song.

2 How many precious souls have fled
To the vast regions of the dead,
Since to this day the changing sun
Through his last yearly period run!

3 We yet survive; but who can say,
"Or through this year, or month or day,
I shall retain this vital breath,
Thus far, at least, in league with death."

4 That breath is thine, eternal God;
'Tis thine to fix my soul's abode ;
It holds its life from thee alone,
On earth, or in the world unknown.

5 To thee our spirits we resign,
Make them and own them still as thine;
So shall they live secure from fear,
Though death should blast the rising year.

HYMN 233. С. М.

1 WHEN, rising from the bed of death,
O'erwhelm'd with guilt and fear,

I see my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear!

2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at this thought;

3 When thou, O Lord, shall stand disclos'd

In Majesty severe,

And sit in judgment on my soul ;
O how shall I appear!

4 Lord, make me understand thy law,
Show what my faults have been;
And from thy Gospel let me draw
Pardon for all my sins.

5 Here would I learn how Christ has died
To save my soul from hell;
Not all the books on earth beside
Such heavenly wonders tell.

6 Then let me love my Bible more,
And take a fresh delight,
By day to read these wonders o'er,
And meditate by night.

HYMN 234. L. M.

1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journies run :
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2 For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

4 Blessings abounds where'er he reigns: The prisoner leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blest.

HYMN 235. С. М.

1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King:
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.

2 Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.

3 No more let sins and sorrows 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.

1 SHEW pity, Lord, O Lord forgive;
Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not thy mercies large and free ?
May not a sinner trust in thee?

2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass
The power and glory of thy grace:
Great God, thy nature hath no bound.
So let thy pard'ning love be found.
