PSALM XLVII. xxi.

Psalm xxiv.

L. M.

OUR LORD is risen from the dead,

MESSIAH is gone up on high;
The pow'rs of hell are captive led,
Dragg'd to the portals of the sky.
There His triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chaunt the solemn lay;
Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates,
Ye everlasting doors give way!

3 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold th' etherial scene;
He claims these mansions as His right,
Receive the king of glory in
in'!

4 Who is the King of glory, who?

The LORD, who all our foes o'ercame; The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew. And JESUS is the Conqu'ror's name.

5 Lo! His triumphal chariot waits,
And Angels chaunt the solemn lay;
Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates,
Ye everlasting doors give way

6 Who is the King of glory, who?

The LORD of glorious pow'r possest ; The King of saints and angels too, GOD over all, for ever blest!"

WAKE, my soul, and grateful sing

Th' ascended SAVIOUR's love:

Sing how he lives to carry on

His people's cause above.

With cries and tears He offer'd up

His humble suit below;
But with authority He asks,
Enthron'd in glory now.

3 For all that come to God by Him,
Salvation He demands;

Points to their names upon His breast,
And spreads His wounded hands.

4 Eternal life, at His request,
To ev'ry saint is giv❜n:
Safety on earth, and after death,
The plenitude of heav'n.

5 Founded on right, Thy prayer avails,
The FATHER smiles on Thee;

And now Thou in Thy kingdom art,
O LORD, remember me.

6 Let the sweet incense of Thy prayer
In my behalf ascend!

And as its virtue, so my praise
Shall never, never, end.

PSALM XCIII.

bat jẹ M.

The delights, the heav'nly joys,

The glories of the place,

Where JESUS sheds the brightest beams
Of His o'erflowing grace!

2 Sweet majesty and awful love
Sit smiling on His brow;

While all the glorious ranks above
At humble distance bow.

3 Hosanna to our conq'ring King!
All hail, incarnate love!

Ten thousand thousand glories wait,
To crown Thy head above!

4 Arch-angels sound His lofty praise
Through ev'ry heav'nly street;
And lay their highest honors down
Submissive at His feet.

5 That ever blest majestic head,
Which cruel thorns did wound;
See, what immortal glories shine.'
And circle it around.

6 This is th' eternal Son of God,
Whom we unseen adore:

But when our eyes behold His face,
Our hearts shall love Him more.

7 Now to the LAMB, that once was slain,
Be endless honors paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain,
For ever on Thy head.
