PSALM. CXX.

Luke xxi.-25.-Rev. 1-7.

1 LO! He comes with clouds descending,

Once for favour'd sinners slain : Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train; Hallelujah Hallelujah! Amen.

2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him,
Rob'd in awful majesty ;

Those, who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierc'd and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing!

Shall the true MESSIAH see.

3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate Him, must confounded;
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment!

Come to judgment! come away!
4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints by man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air!
Hallelujah!

See the day of God appear!

PSALM IV.

1 RISING from the promis'd nation,
Lo! the great MESSIAH's near,

Join in loudest acclamation;
See the incarnate Son appear!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Saints the joyful tidings hear.

2 He, who laid the world's foundation,
And the deeps of ocean bound,
Owns to man a near relation,
And is in a manger found,

Hallelujah!

Praise, eternal praise resound.

3 Lo He comes, th' incarnate Saviour! Saints your highest anthems raise; Love divine, endearing favor,

(P. M. 8, 7.)

Yields ten thousand themes for praise,
Hallelujah!

Loud resound your heav'nly lays.

4 Strike your harps, the whole creation,
And a great REDEEMER sing;
Join the joyful acclamation,
And adore the new born King,
Till to heav'n

Joyful Hallelujah's ring.

PSALM V.

John-i. 1 & 14.

1 MY song shall bless the LORD of all, My praise shall climb to His abode;

(L.M.)

Thee, SAVIOUR, by that name I call,
The GREAT SUPREME, the MIGHTY GOD.

2 Without beginning or decline,

Object of faith, and not of sense; Eternal ages saw Him shine,

He shines eternal ages hence,

3 As much, when in the manger laid,
Almighty Ruler of the sky,

As when the six day's work He made
Fill'd all the morning stars with joy.

4 Of all the crowns JEHOVAH bears,
Salvation is His dearest claim;

That gracious sound well pleas'd He hears,
And owns EMMANUEL for His name..

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, &c.
