3 He who wears the crown of thorns,
He whom man reviles and scorns,
Claims exclusively the words-
"King of Kings, and Lord of Lords."
4 On the cross 'tis still the same;
Never does he yield his claim:

Clear his title to the words-
"King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.”

5 Past the conflict of his love;
See, he takes his place above!
On his vesture shine the words-
"King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.”
6 [0, ye bright seraphic choirs,
Strike anew your golden lyres!
While ye gaze, proclaim the words
"King of Kings, and Lord of Lords."

7 Join, ye saints, with heav'n agree;
Let the name of JESUS be,

Still united to the words-
"King of Kings, and Lord of Lords."]

134 For his Glory. 7s.

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.— ISAIAH xlv. 23.

[ocr errors]

JESUS, hail, thou great I AM!
High and holy is thy name;

Angel-harps resound thy praise;
Saints adore thy saving grace;
Every creature bows the knee,
Worshipping thy majesty!

2 Hail, thou everlasting Lord,
"God with us," incarnate Word!
Glory of thy church thou art,
Life and light of every heart.
Angels, saints, below, above
Join to praise thy boundless love.

135. For his Glory. 78

KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. REV. xix. 16.

"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!"
These are great and awful words;
'Tis to JESUS they belong:

Let his people raise their song.

2 Hark! how angels sound his praise ! Fill'd with transport, while they gaze: Glory, honour, praise, and pow'r, These are thine for evermore.

3 Crown him then whom angels sing; Crown him everlasting King!

JESUS fills the throne above,
JESUS is the God of love.

4 Holy, holy, holy, Lord!

7

Heav'n and earth thy name record:

Pow'r and praise to thee belong,
Lord, accept our feeble song.
5 [Rich in glory thou didst stoop;
This is now thy people's hope:
Thou wast poor, that they might be
Rich in glory, LORD, with thee.
6 When we think of love like this,
Joy and shame our hearts possess:
Joy, that thou could'st pity thus;
Shame, for such returns from us.]
7 Yet we hope the day to see,

When we shall from earth be free;
Borne aloft, to heav'n be brought,
There to praise thee as we ought.
8 While we still continue here,
May this hope our spirits cheer;
Till in heav'n thy face we see,
Teach us, LORD, to live to thee.

136. For his Greatness.-7-6-8.
PSALM CIV.

PRAISE the Lord who reigns above,
And keeps his court below;
Praise the holy GoD of love,

And all his greatness show;
Praise him for his noble deeds,
O praise him for his mighty power;
Him from whom all good proceeds,
Let heaven and earth adore!

2 Publish! spread to all around,
The great IMMANUEL's name;
Let the trumpet's joyful sound
Him Lord of Hosts proclaim!
Heavenly love the song inspires,
JEHOVAH-JESUS, thee we sing!

Sound the cymbals, strike the lyres,
The sweetest music bring.

3 Thee, in whom we move and live,
Let all the world adore!
Glory to their Sovereign give,
And triumph evermore!
Thee for ever will we praise,
The reign of thy Salvation sing,
Ancient of eternal days,
And Universal King!

137. For his Humiliation & Glory. S.M.

Wherefore GOD also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow; of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is Lord, to the glory of GOD the Father.PHIL. ii. 9 to 11.

COME, all harmonious tongues,
Your noblest music bring,

'Tis CHRIST the everlasting GOD,
And CHRIST the man we sing.

2

Proclaim "the word made flesh,"
To take away our guilt;

What precious drops of sacred blood
For sinful men he spilt.

3 The waves of swelling grief Did o'er his bosom roll;

4

5

And, for our sins his Father's wrath
Lay heavy on his soul.

Down to the shades of death
His sacred head he gave:
Yet he arose to live and reign
Triumphant o'er the grave.
Now the Redeemer sits
High on his Father's throne:
The Father lays his vengeance by

"Well pleased in his Son.

[ocr errors]

6

There his full glories shine
With uncreated rays ;

And there his saints and angels dwell
To everlasting days.

138. Jehovah-Jesus. L. M.

And they shall call his name IMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD with us.-MAT. i. 13.

My song shall bless the Lord of all,
My praise shall climb to his abode;
The SAVIOUR by that name I call,
The great, supreme, almighty God.
