Hymn.

Praise to the Lamb.

1 HARK, the notes of angels singing—
"Glory, glory to the LAMB!"
All in heav'n their tribute bringing,
Raising high the SAVIOUR'S Name.

2 Ye, for whom His life is given,
Sacred themes to you belong:
Come assist the choir of heav'n;
Join the everlasting song.

3 Saints and angels, thus united,
Songs imperfect still must raise:
Though despis'd on earth, and slighted,
JESUS is above all praise.

4 See th' angelic hosts have crown'd Him!
JESUS fills the throne on high :
Countless myriads, hov'ring round Him,
With His praises rend the sky.

5 Fill'd with holy emulation,

Let us vie with those above:
Sweet the theme-a free salvation!
Fruit of everlasting love.

6 Endless life in Him possessing,
Let us praise His precious Name:
Glory, honour, pow'r, and blessing,
Be for ever to the LAMB.

Praise to the Lamb.

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.

2 Worthy the LAMB that died,' they cry, To be exalted thus:'

"Worthy the LAMB,' our hearts reply, 'For He was slain for us.'

3 JESUS is worthy to receive
Honour and pow'r divine ;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, LORD, for ever Thine!

4 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name

Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the LAMB.

1 DEAR LORD! and shall Thy SPIRIT rest
In such a wretched heart as mine?
Unworthy dwelling! glorious guest!
Favour astonishing, divine!

2 When some kind promise glads my soul,
Do I not find this healing voice
The tempest of my fears control,
And bid my drooping pow'rs rejoice?

3 Whene'er to call the SAVIOUR mine,
With ardent wish my heart aspires,
Can it be less than pow'r divine

Which animates these strong desires?

4 What less than Thy almighty Word

Can raise my heart from earth and dust, And bid me cleave to Thee, my LORD, My life, my treasure, and my trust?

5 And when my cheerful hope can say,

"I love my GOD, and taste His grace;" LORD, is it not Thy blissful ray

Which brings this dawn of sacred peace?

P

6 Let Thy kind SPIRIT in my heart
For ever dwell, O GOD of Love,
And light and heav'nly peace impart,
Sweet earnest of the joys above.

2 Hear, O hear our supplication,
Great Distributer of grace!
upon this congregation;
Let Thy presence fill the place:
May we ever

Feel, and own Thy heav'nly sway.
3 Come, Thou best of consolations
GOD can give, or man implore:
Blest with Thy sweet visitations,
Can we ask, or wish for more?
GOD of comfort!

Fill our hearts with joy and peace.

Bid us all Thine influence prove; Make our souls Thy habitation, Shed abroad a SAVIOUR's love: Heav'nly Teacher!

Guide and keep us all our days.

Let Thy bright beams arise;
Dispel corruption's mournful gloom,
And cheer our op'ning eyes.
Our drooping faith inspire,

Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our hearts the fire
Of never-dying love.

To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life on ev'ry part,
And new-create the whole.

From sin our bosoms free,

Sweet Guest! that we may know and love
The FATHER, SON, and Thee.

Holy Spirit, the Interpreter of Scriptures. 1 SPIRIT of Truth, essential GOD,

Who didst Thy ancient saints inspire!
Shed in our hearts Thy love abroad,

And touch our lips with hallow'd fire:
Our GOD, from all eternity,

World without end we worship Thee!

Whose presence fills both earth and heav'n, The meaning of the written Word Is by Thy inspiration giv❜n: Thou only dost Thyself explain The secret mind of GOD to man.
