Let all his saints rejoice at this,
The kingdoms of the world are his!

Hallelujah!-Amen!

221. The Extension of the Church. 8-7-7.

Thou shalt cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound.
LEVITICUS Xxv. 9.

HARK! the solemn trumpet sounding,
Loud proclaims the Jubilee!
'Tis the voice of grace abounding,
Grace to sinners rich and free:
Ye, who know the joyful sound,
Publish it to all around.

2 Is the name of JESUS precious?
Does his love your spirits cheer?
Do you find him kind and gracious,
Still removing doubt and fear?
Think, that what he is to you,
Such he'll be to others too.

3 Were you once at awful distance,
Wand'ring from the fold of GOD?
Could no arm afford assistance;
Nothing save but JESU's blood?
Think, how many still are found
Strangers to the joyful sound!
4 Brethren, join in supplication,
Join to plead before the Lord;

'Tis his arm that brings salvation,
He alone can give the word.
Father, let thy kingdom come,
Bring thy wand'ring outcasts home.

222. The Extension of the Church. 7s. The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy GOD thy glory. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. ISAIAH IX. 19, 21.

COME, divine IMMANUEL, come :
Take possession of thy home:
Now thy mercy's wings expand,
Stretch throughout the happy land.

2 Carry on thy victory,

Spread thy rule from sea to sea;
Call in all thy rausom'd race,

Cause the world to "know thy grace."

3 Take the purchase of thy blood,
Bring us to a pard'ning GOD;
Give us eyes to see our day,
Hearts the glorious truth t' obey.

4 Ears to hear the Gospel sound,
"Grace doth more than sin abound;"
GOD appeas'd, and man forgiv'n,
Peace on earth and joy in heav'n.

50 that every soul might be Totally subdu'd to thee!

O that all in thee might know
Everlasting life below.

6 Now thy mercy's wings expand,
Stretch throughout the happy land;
Take possession of thy home,
Come, Divine IMMANUEL, come!

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace, day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.-ISAIAH lxii. 6, 7.

LOOK down, O God, with pitying eye, And view the desolations round; See what wide realms in darkness lie; And hurl their idols to the ground! 2 Loud let the gospel-trumpet blow, And call the nations from afar ; Let all the isles their SAVIOUR know, And earth's remotest ends draw near!

3 Triumphant here let Jesus reign, And bow all hearts to his command: While all the graces of his train

[ocr errors]

Adorn our church, adorn our land. 4 On all our souls let grace descend, Like heav'nly dew in copious show'rs; That we may call our God our friend, And hail thy" great salvation" ours!

5 Then shall each age and rank agree
United shouts of joy to raise;
And Zion, made a praise by thee,
To thee shall render back the praise.

224. The Extension of the Church. 8-7-4.

Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into thy lips; therefore GOD hath blessed thee for ever. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.-PSALM xlv. 2, 3.

LET us sing the King Messiah,
King of Righteousness and Peace;
Hail him, all his happy subjects;
Never let his praises cease!

Ever hail him;

Let his honours still increase!

2 How transcendent are thy glories;
Fairer than the sons of men ;
While thy blessed mediation
Brings us back to God again!
Blest REDEEMER,

How we triumph in thy reign!

3 Gird thy sword on, mighty conq'ror;
Make thy word of truth thy car,
Prosper in thy course triumphant;
All success attend thy war!

Gracious Victor,
Spread thro' all the earth thy fear!

4 Blest are all that touch thy sceptre, Blest are all that own thy reign! Freed from sin, that worst of tyrants; Rescu'd from its galling chain! Saints and angels,

All who know thee, bless thy name.

225. For the Extension of the Church. 148th.

And in thy majesty ride prosperously, because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.-PSALM xlv. 4, 5.

GIRD on thy conq'ring sword,
Ascend thy shining car,
And march, Almighty Lord,
To wage thy holy war;
Before his wheels,

In glad surprise,
Ye vallies, rise,
And sink, ye hills.

2 JESUS, before thy face
Millions of foes shall fall,
The captives of thy grace,
That grace which conquers all.
The world shall know,
Great King of Kings,
What wond'rous things
Thine arm can do.
