XXIX. HYMN.-L. M.

1 The grandest subject I would sing
That ever dwelt on mortal tongue,
The glorious victories of our King
Shall be the subject of my song.

2 He reigns, and shall for ever reign,
Till all his enemies shall yield;
The victory he shall obtain,
And not one foe shall keep the field.

3 This is Jehovah's high decree,

That every one in earth and heav'n
Shall to the Saviour bow the knee,
To him all homage shall be given.

4 Then shall that glorious day arrive,
When sins and sorrows shall be past;
Tears wip'd away from human eyes,
And joys succeed, which always last.

5 All creatures to their God shall cleave, As dust of steel to adamant ;

Then sin shall never more deceive,
But endless pleasures God will grant.

XXX. HYMN.-L. M.

1 What sweet and blest effects we find Attend the constant firm belief,

That God's a friend to all mankind,
And does determine their relief.

2 It fills our souls with heav'nly love, And crucifies our pride and wrath; It sets our minds on things above, And makes us walk the narrow path.

3 Meekness, humility, and peace,

Are blessings flowing from that source;
The more our faith and hope increase,
The more with joy we run our course.

4 It greatly doth the mind expand,
And sets the heart from bondage free,
Makes us possess, and bids us stand,
In Jesus' heav'nly liberty.

5 It most restrains the mind from sin,
Not leading to licentiousness;
But is a monitor within,

Restraining lest we should transgress.

XXXI. HMYN.-L. M.

1 How shall our souls with pleasure raise To our dear Lord a song of praise? We'll sing his love, his goodness tellOur Jesus hath done all things well.

2 With pitying eyes he view'd our case,
And came to save our ruin'd race;
He conquer'd sin, and death, and hell—
Our Jesus hath done all things well.

3 He undertook to bear our load,
And bring us back again to God,
To fit us with himself to dwell-
Our Jesus hath done all things well.

4 His work how great, his plan how vast! But when it all appears at last,

It will our highest praise excel-
Our Jesus hath done all things well.

5 When the creation is restored,
And God shall be by all adored,
How loudly will the triumph swell!—
Our Jesus hath done all things well.

XXXII. HYMN. -C. M.

1 Now let our souls to God attend,
And hear his blessed word;
"For ever will I not contend,”
Saith our most gracious Lord.

66

2"Not always shall my wrath endure Against the souls I made; "I wound, I heal, I kill, I cure,

"Nor ask from others aid.

3" For should my anger always burn,
"The spirit sure would fail,

66

My creatures would to nothing turn, "Destruction would prevail.

4" To man great comfort I will give,
"My grace his pains shall heal;
"His mourners shall behold him live,
"And greatest joy shall feel."

5 This is Jehovah's blessed will,
That all should be restored,
And this his purpose he'll fulfil,
Then let him be adored.

XXXIII. HYMN.-4 lines, 7's.

1 CHRIST the Lord is ris'n to day,
Sons of men and angels say!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply.

2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle's won;
Lo! our sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! he sets in blood no more!

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids his rise,
Christ hath opened paradise.

4 Lives again our glorious King?
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once he dy'd our souls to save;
Where's thy victory, boasting grave?

5 Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Follw'ing our exalted Head?
Made like him, like him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

6 What though once we perish'd all,
Partners of our parents fall?
Second life we shall receive,
In our heav'nly Adam live.

7 Hail the Lord of earth and heav'n!
Praise by both to thee be giv'n;
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Hail the resurrection---thou.

XXXIV. HYMN.-8 lines, 6, 8, & 4's.

1 How can we be asham'd

Of such a wond'rous plan,

Which God hath in his wisdom fram'd

To ransom man ?

Here goodness joined with power,

Display the grand design,

Poor man to save, redeem, restore,

By grace divine.
